Googles propensity to create and destroy tech at alarming rate aside, what is there to be gained in immersive audio? Atmos sounds borderline real in a good setup. What are the current limitations for high end HT audio that this is looking to improve upon?
Edit: so I read it, and it sounds like this is a push for an open source audio standard. If that’s the case, then as much fun as dunking on Samsung and Google is, I support the endeavor, at least in theory.
Bear in mind Android was meant to be an open source endeavour. They’ll release the OSS version, then slowly close the up the market as it gets adoption, so that it really can’t be used without their approval.
Considering there’s this about media, there will be some sort of DRM involved. I guarantee it.
DTS X is much better than atoms. No channel or group limits etc.
But Dolby has already won the race. Cinemas are all Dolby Atmos, movies are, sound stages etc etc. They won the marketing race so they won out in the end.

I thought DTS:X was the (at least more) open version of Dolby Atmos.

It may be. I really don’t know much other than Atmos sounds amazing.
If you make it, they will
comeprobably ignore it and continue to use non-free options.
