Question:

Why do I hear more noise when playing my recorded audio/video files after activating the Dolby Atmos feature?

Answer:

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound feature that enhances the audio experience in your movies, music, and other entertainment by amplifying small sounds that may be hard to hear otherwise. Due to this amplification, white noise can become more noticeable in a quiet environment when playing back your own audio or video files. However, if you play commercial movie or music files in the same space, there should be no issue. To reduce the noise in your personal recordings, consider disabling Dolby Atmos feature.
