In Windows, you typically have access to 7 channels + LFE, but you don't have any way to verify spatial audio outside of games and demos.
I'd like to know if there's a way to verify spatial audio from Windows on my home theater. I've heard that Dolby Atmos sounds different from DTS:X as the heights are boosted, but also, it incurs a lot of lag. It'd be great if I had an easier way to play test tones (like 440Hz or 2kHz) on individual speakers.
I'm also wondering if there's any way I can route 2-channel music to different speakers and see how they sound in pairs? I'd have to swap my XLR outputs to test speakers other than my front two, but then I'm missing out on my Room EQ.
