For those connecting their PC to a LG CX oled and then to a AVR, is there any way to stop the speaker setup in Windows 10 to reset itself to stereo at random? This is driving me insane! Every time I choose Atmos for home theater, some games (eg. latest Capcom games like Resident Evil 2) reset it to stereo when launching, and no matter how many times I set it back, when alt-tabbing back to the game, it resets itself to stereo. The only workaround I found is to set the game to bordered sorry window and THEN setting the speaker setup to Atmos (totally inefficient as border less gaming usually suffers from worse performance than full screen).
Googling around tells me there is seemingly no solution, but the links are 3-4 years old so that gives me hope (eg https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...g-itself/d487cd64-0f13-48bf-8a52-bce6924b5abf).
Anyone having this issue as well?
I haven't had the issue because I haven't tried Atmos with PC but Atmos on Xbox hosed sound altogether on Series X when I switched it back to PCM. The Xbox was telling me that my soundbar wouldn't support even stereo PCM and the issue persisted between reboots of the Series X.
Eventually I had to actually set it to Bitstream DD in the Xbox control panel first to get any sound at all and then it let me switch to PCM 5.1. It was enough for me to swear off switching back to Atmos.
