This hidden Windows 10 feature will bring Virtual Surround sound technology

Microsoft's Windows 10 Creators Update update contains a hidden "gold repository" that you haven't explored yet. One of them is Windows Sonic - the new surround sound tool for Windows 10. Virtual Surround technology is a sound emulator technology for users to feel realistic and vivid sound.

This small program will modify the headset sound to simulate the 3D environment. This is a great addition to both audio design in movie and game viewers. Another noteworthy point is that this tool is available and completely free when you upgrade the operating system to Windows 10 Creators Update.

Windows Sonic Audio

Windows Sonic audio is available on PCs and gaming consoles (both Windows 10 and Xbox) promising a new dimension to audio technology. After spending time with Windows Sonic, I have to admit that it really is a great audio tool.

Basically, Sonic simulates the 3D environment using audio from your device. While this does not necessarily work well on movies, it works very well for games.

How to activate Windows Sonic in Windows 10

Disable sound effects

Some motherboard and sound card manufacturers require device software to use the hardware properly. Sometimes, they work in the background without any users knowing. Which includes audio software.

For example, using MSI motherboards means that you have installed Realtek HD Audio Manager software on your computer.
