Microsoft Surface Go is the smallest Surface tablet with a pixel-sense display and stereo speakers, great for media consumption and getting the job done on the go. However, It doesn’t officially support Dolby Atmos, a spatial sound technology that brings the same immersive 3D audio you experience in the movie theater to a pair of headsets or speakers.
With the stereo front-firing speakers and the ability to manually enable yourself with the Dolby Access app, you can experience better-surrounded sound for your music, movies, and games with your Surface Go internal speakers or headphones. This article will show you how to install, enable, and customize Dobly Atmos on Microsoft Surface Go.
How to Enable Dolby Atmos on Microsoft Surface Go
To turn on Dolby Atmos surround sound on Microsoft Surface Go:
- Install the Dolby Access app.
Go to Microsoft Store, search for Dolby Access, or download the Dolby Access app here.
- Right-click on the Speakers icon on the taskbar.
