Soundbar 🎮 The Ultimate Guide to Gaming Audio | Let Dolby Atmos Unlock Your "Audio Positioning"!

[Ultimea Team]

Dear Ultimea players, it's time to awaken the "microcosm" in your ears!
Have you ever missed a victory because you couldn't hear your opponent's footsteps? Yearning for a 360-degree surround sound experience in your gaming world? Today, let's talk about how to maximize your gaming experience with Dolby Atmos!

Why do all gamers need Dolby Atmos?
Visualize Sound
A bullet whizzing past your head? The subtlest movement in the brush? Dolby Atmos transforms sound into a "3D map," allowing you to "see" the battlefield even with your eyes closed!

Explode Immersion
From the neon rain of Cyberpunk 2077 to the majestic canyons of God of War, ambient sound has been elevated from "background" to "protagonist," drawing you completely into the game world!

Physical cheats, legal cheats
FPS players test: Footsteps are accurately located down to the centimeter level, even allowing you to hear the direction your opponent is reloading! (Feel free to share in the comments )

Unlock your ultimate gaming audio in three steps
Confirm device support
A Dolby Atmos-enabled soundbar (such as our Skywave X series )
Game device support (Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC games must be compatible)

System Settings

text
Xbox: Settings → General → Audio → "Dolby Atmos"
PC: Install the Dolby Access app → Enable Atmos
PS5: Tempest 3D is currently supported, but can be enhanced with virtual Atmos via a soundbar

In-game debugging

Set the audio mode to "Home Theater"
Appropriately increase the dynamic range (a must for detail-conscious gamers!)

Tested Recommendation: These games are instantly awesome with Ultimea!

Wow, this was such an awesome read!
Loved how clearly everything was explained - especially the Dolby Atmos setup part. I’ve always felt that gaming sound makes half the experience, and this just proves it.

I haven’t tried Atmos gaming yet, but reading this makes me want to upgrade soon

Maybe I’ll start with something simple like Call of Duty or God of War and see how it feels with a good setup.

Also, props to the team for sharing these detailed settings - it really helps newcomers understand how to get that “immersive” effect without any confusion.

It's so inspiring to hear your message!

We're confident that once you've experienced it, you'll never go back. We look forward to hearing about your first Atmos gaming experience in the future!

Happy gaming!

I also have the x40, try this.
x40 game-only presets:

1) Competitive / FPS games (maximum footstep clarity & positioning)​

Base preset: Game
10-band EQ (dB):
31: −2 | 62: −1 | 125: 0 | 250: +1 | 500: +2 | 1k: +3 | 2k: +3 | 4k: +2 | 8k: +1 | 16k: 0
Extras:

• DRC: Standard
• X-Upmix / virtual surround: ON only if the game outputs stereo (OFF if it has native surround/Atmos)
• Sub/BASS: if low-end “boom” masks footsteps, drop −1 more
• Voice/Dialog: OFF (toggle ON if party chat is too quiet)

2) Adventure / open-world games (immersion without losing dialogue)​

Base preset: Game (or Standard for a flatter tone)
10-band EQ (dB):
31: −1 | 62: 0 | 125: +1 | 250: +1 | 500: +1 | 1k: +2 | 2k: +2 | 4k: +1 | 8k: 0 | 16k: 0
Extras:

• DRC: Standard
• X-Upmix: ON for stereo sources; OFF with surround/Atmos
• Sub/BASS: 0 (or −1 if your room gets boomy)

Quick version (if you only have BASS/TREBLE)​

• FPS: BASS −1 / TREBLE +1
• Adventure: BASS 0 / TREBLE +1

How to apply quickly: ULTIMEA app → EQ / Custom → enter values → Save as “X40–FPS” and “X40–Adventure”.

This is an excellent question and a core concern for many users. The goals of EQ (equalizer) settings differ between gaming and home theater:

Gaming: Typically focuses on clarity, positioning, and responsiveness. You need to be able to clearly hear enemy footsteps, gunshots, and their location.

Home Theater: Typically focuses on immersion, atmosphere, and impact. You need to feel the power of music, the depth of explosions, and the clarity of dialogue.

EQ Recommendations for Ultimea Speakers

1. Standard Mode

Gaming: Suitable for all types of games, especially non-competitive narrative games and open-world games (such as *The Legend of Zelda* and *Red Dead Redemption*). It provides a balanced sound without overemphasizing any particular frequency band.

Home Theater: Also suitable, faithfully reproducing movie sound effects, ideal for watching dramas and documentaries.

If you don't want to adjust settings frequently, Standard mode is a versatile choice, suitable for both gaming and home theater.

2. Optimized EQ Settings for Games

To gain a competitive edge, especially in FPS (First-Person Shooter) games, we recommend trying custom preset modes:

Slightly boost mid-high frequencies (~2kHz - 4kHz): This makes footsteps and the sound of shattering glass stand out more.

Slightly boost high frequencies (~8kHz): This adds "airiness," making the sound crisper and helping to distinguish subtle sounds.

Maintain or slightly reduce low frequencies (~60Hz - 250Hz): Excessive bass can mask footsteps and make the sound muddy. Appropriately reducing it can make mid-high frequency details clearer.

3. Optimized EQ Settings for Home Theaters

We recommend selecting the speaker preset mode: "Movie" mode is the best choice, as it automatically enhances surround sound and bass effects.

We hope this explanation helps you achieve a better audio experience! Enjoy your games and movies!
