Steven Wilssens, Principal Program Manager Lead at Microsoft for Audio revealed that DTS:X audio app is coming to Windows 10 soon and improvements for Dolby Atmos are also planned.
Both Windows 10 PC and Xbox One users will soon be able to have their audio system enhanced by DTS:X app. Steven Wilssens, one of Microsoft’s lead audio team, confirmed that DTS is coming to PC and Xbox devices in the coming weeks.
DTS:X app was recently published in the Microsoft Store but users cannot download it at the moment. Microsoft’s tweet suggests that the DTS will be made available to the PCs users enrolled in the Insider program first and then the company will move it to the Xbox branch. After beta testing the update with Insiders, the app will be released to everyone with Windows 10 PCs or Xbox gaming console.
We also have DTS coming to PC and Xbox in the coming weeks. It will be available to the PC Insider audience first and then move to Xbox. Once any issues have been ironed out, they will move to the PC and Xbox audiences that are on retail builds.
