[Motherboard] Dolby Atmos Introduction

●About Dolby Atmos 
Dolby Atmos enables sound designers to specify different qualities of each sound, including location, movement, size, focus, and more. This frees game and movie sounds from individual speaker channels, so they can be precisely placed and moved to flow above and around you in three-dimensional space. Sound effects follow the on-screen action and seem to emanate from a precise location, whether a character or object is static or in motion, for a more immersive experience.

 

●What is Dolby Access? 
Dolby® Access is an app for Windows that lets you set up, try, and experience Dolby Atmos, a breakthrough sound technology that pulls you inside the action with immersive, moving audio for your games and movies.
