thing is there’s no way to reinstall an old update, we basically need someone with the older firmware with a pc to test it out.
Mostly we need to know if it's working now or not. For me on Xbox One-X I can't hear a height channel image, and bar is not rolling Atmos, it's apparently just 7.1 surround (Xbox direct to Q950T HDMI1), even though the Xbox itself is set to output Dolby Atmos for Home Theater. So it seems the bar is not using it, even though sent it, presumably because the format is bitstreamed PCM/LPCM surround with the object metadata.
In which case the bar itself must be discarding the object data and thus does not go into its "Dolby Atmos Mode".
Though I do have to switch modes to get sound working when the game starts (which is obviously an Atmos bug to begin with), and that's not necessary with a conventional 7.1 2D audio game. So the bar is recognizing something's different about this Atmos game, but the bar is not recognizing the object metadata and thus not launching the bar into "Dolby Atmos mode".
But it still transcribes (down-mixes) the bitstream audio to a 7.1 format to play the Atmos bitstream in 2D surround, but from a 3D surround game.
Which is what a bar which does not support Atmos from a game would have to do, to turn the Atmos sound into 5.1 or 7.1, so said non-atmos surround bar or AV receiver can can still produce sound from the game.
Q950T seems to be doing the same thing, it just gives up on Atmos and down-mixes to 7.1 on the fly, hence no Dolby Atmos Mode.
So is the PC doing this same thing, when sending Atmos game audio directly connected to the bar?
Or do some games actually work (on Xbox, or on PC) and do cause the "Dolby Atmos Mode" text to roll across the Q950T display?
I suspect none do, and Atmos is only there in blue-ray movies (which we know does work, or Chris would be going bananas).
So can anyone make any Atmos game, from either PC, or console, to make
Dolby Atmos mode text toll across the display?
Plus not allow the bar to swap into other modes?
Because if we have to swap modes to get sound from Atmos games, then I don't think Atmos in games is working on this bar at all.
