  • Dolby Atmos works only after app download (unlocking headphones requires purchase). HDMI is instead free (and contrarily to the past non-exclusive)
  • Turn on 7.1 virtual surround sound tries to 'port' the sound output of conventional 5.1/7.1 programs to 3D, object-based, space. All of this should be available since some January 2017 insider build (Creators Update for stable).
