PS5 3D AUDIO System Update GOOD OR BAD!? Better than DOLBY ATMOS?
PS5 3D AUDIO System Update GOOD OR BAD!? Better than DOLBY ATMOS?
Rather than use a 3D audio technology such as Dolby Atmos, Sony has chosen to develop its own proprietary 3D audio format for the PS5, just as it created the 360 Reality Audio format that it used for music.
In short, the PS5 should transform your gaming experience though 3D audio. Indeed, Sony says the effect is so powerful that you’ll be able to hear where individual rain drops are landing in a game’s environment.

02:19 The Update
03:14 Lets Play Demon Souls
03:52 How does it sound?
08:09 Final Thoughts
09:47 Other updates
Oh… and I also noticed the addition of an AWESOME RAIDERS replica helmet!!!
i hear the difference using just the tv built in speaker but the quality is TERRIBLE i had to turn 3D audio off cuz I just couldn’t handle the sounds quality being damaged that bad!
I actually thought it gave my Horizon Zero Dawn experience a boost, the voices where better while in dialog, I could hear where the stormbirds bombs came from, the stalkers traps sounded really nice also. Going to test it on Returnal later, what i did not like was that the quality got really bad when you turned down the volume to a lower level then you selected when setting up the 3d audio. Still think i’m going for the headphones in the end
Should i update?
PS5 games are 7.1. You use the Dolby surround sound mode to upmix?
On the PS5 audio front, how about Sony just concentrate on getting and supporting Atmos or DTS: X encocoded in their games. I understand Sony doesn’t support that because of their own 3D audio chip but that can change real fast.
Tried it in multiple configurations. Disappointing af lol.
I have the 2 generation consoles. PS5 3D sound is good but for me the Dolby Atmos is much better. I play video games in my Xbox series X is the best experience for me the games sounds amazing and the quality is the best.
Glad someone is actually comparing this with an Atmos setup.
I am so pissed that Sony I so behind with this. They should have kept with Atmos format for elevation speakers.
Instead they created their own format that sucks and not capable of true 3d audio through speakers. They’re so behind the times when they should be ahead. I’M SO PISSED AT THEM!
I use a pc monitor and some basic 70W 2.1 speakers. The quality is somewhat lower but I love the sense of depth and direction of the ps5 3d sound. The weather effects in Ghost of Tsushima sound about right! Overall a positive change in my opinion.
I gave it a try on my ps5 and it sounds just like you describe it. But will it be possible for sony to replicate Dolby atmos just with a TV, even in future updates?
Does this 3D audio work with a soundbar or is it just a TV speaker feature?
I have an Atmos soundbar, when is sony going to allow 3d audio through that?
What kind of Soundbar with dolby atmos do you recommend for the PS5?
I got to try this when I get home sometime later this evening I want to try out the new features on my PS5 just get into it a little bit more
I wonder if it would have sounded better coming out of a front firing tv speaker. It’s hard going between my old Kuro and a bottom firing OLED.
I can’t set mine up. It keeps saying “Your TV volume is too low. Raise the volume on your TV.”
I’m using a JBL 2.1 soundbar, is that the issue? And the volume is way past what I normally have it at.
Before I even watch the video, I just set up mine and it just sounds… flat and empty. Interested to see how it is for others
as I heard they are working so that the function functions as a home theater and soundbar.
Dolby Atmos looks like a washing machine
6:18 …. how are they using the controller as a mouse cursor? I have to know!!!! Someone let me know plz
Any news when the 3D audio update will be coming to home theater systems? It’s been disappointing that Sony’s 3D audio has only been optimized for headphones and now recently, tv speakers and leaving home theater owners out.
i have a ps5 and xbox series X and the 3D audio just CAN’T compete to dolby atmos. When i play gears 5, resident evil village, tomb raider with atmos it’s just much more immersive. I love my PS5 but when a game comes out on ps5 and xbox and it has atmos, i always have to make the choice between Haptic feedback vs Dolby atmos and for me the latter wins.
Worked well for me through a sound bar. Impressive
Turned 3d audio off within 5 minutes of gameplay. Mein dolby atmos on my lg cx sounds way better.
In summary it doesn’t work. Stick to headphones if you want 3D audio.
You have to uncheck Dolby atmos in the lg cx sound settings.,.. and change the default bitrate audio output to PCM in the lg cx sound settings
Try switching off the calibration and leave the standard 3rd audio on, it works much better.
I tried it with Returnal and it was ok at best, and then I tried it with Tales of Arise and it was worse.
I hoping for an update to fix it, but it was a nice try on Sony’s part.
I haven an LG C9 and use the TV speakers. Sounds 10 times better with the 3D crap off. Just doesn’t work at all with built in TV speakers.
I dont even gotta watch this to know it dont work good sense no tv speakers builtin can do surround good always sounds weird to me like muffled
with soundbars they do the same thing try to simulate but dont do a good job cause its still speakers out in 1 position all in the front
it always sounds better then builtin tv speakers tho
the thing I do like tho is bars do have good bass that can give that going to the movies feel
headphones surround does a good job at fake surround cause its speakers on each ear so its easier to fake which I got my first surround phones last year ps4 model platinum
this PS5 update is for tv 3d audio the sound bar and theater audio is set to come later different update
The 3D audio is only good with the headset imo
It sounds low quality do you think they will fix it in an update?
What atmos? Ps 5 is the worst console ever made, a ps3 is more bright, what hdr? Xbox series x is the new generation console whith a picture that makes you speechless!!!
What about the audio on the pulse 3D, there’s a new EQ for them. Is it now worth buying a pair🤔
How I test surround sound is, I find a sound producing fixed object within a game – like a burning barrel or working machinery in Borderlands – stand in front of it, then slowly pan around, observing the sound as it goes from front left to right etc(actually, I pan towards the left – but that’s neither here nor there)… I don’t have Atmos speakers yet, but I reckon that the same test should work & if I were to bend over whilst facing a sound emitting abject, there should be output from the respective Atmos speakers… Please try my test method & let me know if my theorised Atmos test works as I predicted… =]
It was exactly what i wanted to know! Thanks for ur job!
Very Nice addition of the darken room curtains!!!
This PS5 ‘3D Audio’ reminds me of the old Dolby Pro Logic tech you would find on TVs in the late ’90s / ’00s. It just created a wider soundscape (more reverb & boosting/limiting certain frequencies), but was NOT surround sound. Sony doesn’t call this surround sound after all, because it isn’t. It’s not even close to Dolby Atmos.
how i understood, it was their focus was 3D audio for headphones, later on for TV speakers and then for soundbars. Is this update of any use for a atmos soundbar yet or is that still further down the line?
