What do you guys think? Do you think Microsoft will push to have Windows 10 merge with the Xbox one ecosystem? I think they are really gunning to bring these two platforms together. Thoughts?

#

hey evrey stores in pc xbox game pass is came ing in microsoft store

dense heron
#

very cool battlestations

#

I am planning on updating my mobo for Ryzen 3000 series

#

The Intel vulnerabilities are unnerving

oak coral
#

@full flint ummn where be windows 10 lol

#

linux still isn't good for gaming imo

dense heron
#

There are tricks to work around it with

#

not sure if I still have the magazine article on that though

#

gonna go for a walk then see if I can find it

oak coral
#

Proton and stuff is okay but it still doesn't support that many games

dense heron
#

I'm talking about a way to get steam on there

oak coral
#

Steam's natively supported on Linux.

full flint
#

I used to dual boot

dense heron
#

ohs

oak coral
#

But other storefronts are not.

full flint
#

but I had to reinstall

dense heron
#

I would only chance dual boot on a mac

full flint
#

I'll dual boot again when I can be bothered

#

dual boot is safe

dense heron
#

later

full flint
#

just create two partitions

dense heron
#

walk time

oak coral
#

or just ditch linux entirely? I still don't get whats so good about Linux. You can do Linux-like stuff with the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

full flint
#

I have a fairly high end pc, it has trash air circulation though. I got it prebuilt by iBuyPower and would have to take it in or return it and have it get sent back to install new fans, without evading the warrenty.
Specs:

  • GTX 1080
  • i7-8700k 3.7 GHz
  • 16 gb ram (have to check whether they are ddr5 or ddr4
  • 1tb ssd
    How good is my pc, i got it 2 years ago for 1700, overpriced but my first anyway.
#

I like my cinnamon desktop

#

I like having a stable system

#

one that doesn't update itself at random intervals

oak coral
#

....Windows 10 doesn't do that anymore.

#

They fixed that literally ages ago.

full flint
#

I like having a main system that is more immune to viruses too

#

I also don't like being spyed on

oak coral
#

Most people can avoid viruses by not being silly and browsing the wrong websites.

full flint
#

yes

#

but much like on Mac Os

oak coral
#

And Linux gets loads of vulnerabilities.

full flint
#

linux rarely gets them

oak coral
#

Windows is a massive OS so it has more people trying to exploit it.

#

Android's the same way.

#

iOS / macOS have quite small userbases in comparison to the Android / Windows userbases so they aren't as big of targets.

full flint
#

most of everything I do is done in linux mint

#

I have used windows since 98

median ermine
#

Other Operating Systems may be vulnerable to exploiting it's software as it might target it's users to get Malware, thankfully Windows Defender might help with that

oak coral
#

I've used it since 95 lol

#

Windows 95 not 1995 lol

median ermine
#

@oak coral oh my... that OS didn't even had Activation Screens

full flint
#

I switched because I disliked where microsoft took their os

oak coral
#

what?

#

They've been actively trying to improve it every release.

median ermine
#

@full flint you what?

oak coral
#

he switched to linux

#

which is bad because now he's missing out on a lot of games

full flint
#

I don't

#

I run as much as I can in wine or proton

oak coral
#

lol

#

I'd rather use a VM with hardware passthrough

full flint
#

and I have a windows dual boot for the rest

#

well I had

oak coral
#

Anyways telemetry helps MS improve Windows and at least they aren't as bad as Google when it comes to that.

full flint
#

they still sell you ads though

oak coral
#

Microsoft doesn't sell you ads.

#

They're not in that business. Google is.

full flint
#

in bing they do

median ermine
#

@full flint @oak coral i'd removed/formatted Windows Vista out of my laptop because, as Windows Vista is no longer supported, it was a slow OS and i don't want to threat Windows 10 to run as slow as Vista did

full flint
#

and msn

oak coral
#

MSN is pretty much dead.

#

It's just a news aggregator.

median ermine
#

@oak coral same, it's in a horrible shape as of recently

oak coral
#

And Bing is tiny in comparison to Google.

full flint
#

not to mention

oak coral
#

I trust Microsoft with my data.

full flint
#

on a paid version of their os

oak coral
#

oh here we go

#

pre-installed apps

full flint
#

they still install candy crush and whatnot

#

it's bloatware

oak coral
#

its not.

full flint
#

it is

oak coral
#

its not bloatware if you can remove it. and you can. so no, its not bloatware.

full flint
#

I can remove bloatware from my android device

#

but it's still bloatware

oak coral
#

and i guarantee you Linux Mint has way more apps / libraries / services / etc installed than Windows 10.

median ermine
#

In fact, Apple uses Bloatware for their apps as well, so it's no coincidence that Microsoft has to do the same for their operating system, Windows 10 @oak coral

full flint
#

I disagree

oak coral
#

I've used Windows 10 since the first developer preview back in 2014. I know Windows 10 pretty darn well. I've never had a Windows 10 BSOD unless I ended up doing something really stupid, like messing up my overclock. Other than that Windows 10 has been as stable as a rock.

full flint
#

Everything istalled is there because I want it

#

Windows 10 blue screens frequently for me

oak coral
#

then that's your hardware not playing nice.

full flint
#

works fine in mint though

oak coral
#

lol

#

i still find Linux to be way more inconvenient than Windows.

median ermine
#

i have less BSOD's than usual, i try to not install as many apps on my PC or it might crash or end up breaking my computer's cpu and overclock entirely

full flint
#

It can be

#

but when it works it is magnificent

oak coral
#

I disagree there.

#

Every time I've used Linux something ended up messing up or something. And I've been using computers / playing video games since I was a toddler (3, computers and stuff really interested me at how cool and fancy they were haha, then again toddlers find a lot of stuff interesting)

Not with Windows

#

I'd use macOS before I'd ever use Linux again.

median ermine
#

My first computer was actually a iMac G4 with Mac OS X 10.5.8, and it ran Extremely Slow as i can't remove my data out of it

full flint
#

I can respect hackintoshes but normal macs are awful

#

and people just buy them anyway

digital olive
#

i'm gonna be building a new PC this summer hopfully ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

full flint
#

nice

#

just in time for ryzen 3000 too

digital olive
#

yuuup

#

i'm actually on a tight budget so i might settlee for a R7 2700x instead

#

cuz thosr are like $279

oak coral
#

just get the R5 3600 instead

full flint
#

still a great cpu

#

it depends

#

he might need the multi core

digital olive
#

yea i do

full flint
#

but if its for gaming then the 3600 is a better idea

digital olive
#

music production

#

and gaming

oak coral
#

6 cores is plenty for music production

full flint
#

yeah a 2700x should be a good choice

digital olive
#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

full flint
#

I do video work so I'm saving for a 3900x

digital olive
#

ayy nice

oak coral
#

Most people only need the extra cores if they're doing video editing / blender renders / other intense work

digital olive
#

i originally just wantd a budget build for VR

oak coral
#

If you want a real powerful machine, get the $40,000 2019 Mac Pro.

#

Hehehehehehe.

digital olive
#

like ean r52600 +GTX 1070

oak coral
#

(please don't)

full flint
#

Monitor not included

oak coral
#

Stand not included*

That's sold separately for $999

digital olive
#

imma buy the stand only lol

full flint
#

both not included

oak coral
#

$1000 monitor stand

WTF Apple.

full flint
#

I have ยฃ97 to my name

teal spoke
#

you should know the price of the monitor phew

oak coral
#

$5k

full flint
#

I will not be buying a mac any time ever

oak coral
#

lol

digital olive
#

but then I ralized that CP2077 is gonna comee out latee2019/early 2020 so i might as well go crazy aaa go stupid and get a fully future proof build

ruby spear
#

But compared to other similar monitors built for those professional purposes, that Apple monitor is a major bargain.

median ermine
#

what about the $6k Mac Pro 2019, with the highly expensive Pro Retina Display

ruby spear
#

Other equivalent monitors are like $40K

oak coral
#

thats like $11,000 @median ermine

digital olive
#

i just bought a 144hz 27" Dell monitor

full flint
#

nice

oak coral
#

I use a 55" display as my monitor

full flint
#

that refresh rate will change your life

oak coral
#

4K

digital olive
#

it's a TN panel tho and i'm coming from a 22" 60hz ips

oak coral
#

eeewww TN

digital olive
#

yea...

obsidian bobcatBOT
#

KNSBBan Oceancoastline#8817 has been banned.

oak coral
#

I hate TN

full flint
#

tn is fine for gaming

digital olive
#

but again, low budget

oak coral
#

oof beaned

digital olive
#

F

oak coral
#

F

full flint
#

I use a tn and a va panel

oak coral
#

hehehehehe

obtuse dune
#

Hey quick question, anybody know where to find some really cheap(ish) GPU's? I have a card on my main build but im out of town and I am working on a tight budget

digital olive
#

plus im sure with a bit of calibration, i can get the new monitor lookin nice and clean

full flint
#

@obtuse dune get an rx 570

digital olive
#

plus i use a TN pannel at my work and it honestly doeesn't look that bad

#

the calibration on it is absolute poo poo tho

#

way too much contrast

obtuse dune
#

Cant get an amd card lol. Dad works with nvidia and im pretty sure he would kill me if I bought an amd card.

digital olive
#

LOL F

#

wait

#

if hee works with them, maybe he could get you a good deal

full flint
#

just paint it green and call it a gtx 1650 ti

obtuse dune
#

^ Lol good idea fearless

#

Kabar as far as that the discount isnt very nominal and is generally only on newer cards.

#

as far as I know

full flint
#

new nvidia cards haven't been all that impressive

#

neither has amd

#

hopefully navi can be something of worth

obtuse dune
#

Well, heres the thing. They really only changed the architecture and added ray tracing through it. They didnt have any nominal increases in VRam or memory speed which is disheartening. ]

digital olive
#

ahhhh im so excited for the new monitor aaaaaa

obtuse dune
#

Alright well anyways boys, peace.

digital olive
oak coral
#

@digital olive I hate TN. I can only stand VA / IPS / AMOLED

#

AMOLED being the best of the three

digital olive
#

ofc.

full flint
#

amoled is great apart from the burn in

oak coral
#

Never experienced that.

full flint
#

me neither but it is still super common on tvs and phones

feral estuary
#

so when will the new xbox overlay will hit windows? I hope they the Game DVR uses GPU encode so it doesn't cut into CPU performance.

dusty vector
#

Game Bar should be available to everyone by now.

sinful rapids
#

@feral estuary keep in mind not everyone has a GPU ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

dusty vector
#

You need the 1903 Windows 10 update though.

#

GPUs are... usually 100% busy rendering the game though.

feral estuary
#

No the GPUs have encoders which do the kob

dusty vector
#

What you want to avoid CPU usage is hardware video encode

#

Okay, that's what you meant

#

Did GameDVR on PC not use hardware encode before? That's hard to believe.

feral estuary
#

Nvidia has NVenc, AMD has something similar i forgot the name. This is major reason why I don't use Game DVR, it kills CPU

#

Game DVR uses CPU

#

and it still does

dusty vector
#

Ok, we definitely use hardware encode on console.

#

I guess the PC team must have reasons.

feral estuary
#

yeah xbox uses hardware, for some reason pc uses software encode.

noble pewter
#

so I know generally the best time to buy a motherboard ram and cpu is during black friday/cyber monday but is there any other time? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

full flint
#

@feral estuary Nividia has G-sync and AMD has FreeSync

feral estuary
#

@full flint I am talking about GPU decoders, not the VRR tech. Also G sync works on Adaptive sync (Freesync) now.

i will not watch it

i hear... for middle PC it is cool, but top PC...

full flint

Depends.

Based on some tech sites it's easily outperforming the i9 9900k

even when that 9900k is overclocked.

broken narwhal
#

what power pc do you have?

full flint

PPC? I dont have a PPC.

#

I want to say what are your components in your computer (sory for my Translator)

full flint
#

I have a couple of computers, but in my workstation I run a dual socket Xeon E3-1275 with 64gb of DDR4 and a Titan X SLI. I'm probably going to upgrade the GPU's soon though.

#

I can't remember the Memory's clock speed since It's been a while.

#

I believe it's 2300MHz

broken narwhal
#

i have i7 6700k + 16 GB ram and 1,9 tb ROM + 120 ssd + GTX 1050 ti, that I want to upgrade to 1060 or 1070.

I just bought a 1070 the other day for this machine here. It had a 1060 that died from an arcing shot of electricity. Sad days

Does anyone here know if AIO coolant can damage hardware?

#

My AIO pump burst in December

#

I cleaned it out as best I could. Switched to air cooling, but it's been crashing ever since

full flint
#

the liquid inside is propylene glycol

#

It probably would damage hardware

wicked ravine
#

figured, but didn't know for sure

full flint
#

do you know why it is crashing?

wicked ravine
#

Kernel Panics is usually the BSOD error

#

I reinstalled the OS, and it's running better.

#

Just crashed and rebooted while playing Sekiro

full flint
#

what are your specs?

wicked ravine
#

i7-7700k @ 4.8GHz, 32 GB @ 3200 MHz, 1080 Ti OC card

#

running the GPU at standard clock

full flint
#

what cooler are you using?

wicked ravine
#

Noctua NH15s

full flint
#

it isn't overheating

wicked ravine
#

Was using Corsair H100, but it burst

full flint
#

not with that cooler

wicked ravine
#

Checking temps it doesn't seem to over heat

full flint
#

it won't

#

noctuas are pretty amazing

wicked ravine
#

Yeah. I wasn't able to keep it at 5.0GHz, but don't need it to

full flint
#

did you see where the liquid went?

wicked ravine
#

All over the motherboard and PSU. Backplate of GPU, and case walls

#

Mostly on PSU

#

Corsair HX1000i PSU

full flint
#

do you have another system to test components on?

wicked ravine
#

I do not, but I tested the GPU in my friends rig.

#

He is using AMD so couldn't test much else

full flint
#

was it alright?

wicked ravine
#

Yes

full flint
#

okay

#

The cpu should be fine

#

but the motherboard might not be

wicked ravine
#

I've been debating on the mobo for a while now

#

It throws 00 error when I turn it off, and turn it back on

#

takes a couple power cycles to get beyond 00 error

full flint
#

yeah

#

that isn't healthy

wicked ravine
#

I was gonna wait till Intel 10th gen comes out (if it's 10nm die) to get a new mobo and cpu.

#

use the i7 for a test bench

full flint
#

intel 10nm is pretty worthless

#

the only reason the ice lake cpu beat ryzen mobile was the memory speed

I do video production as well on my workstation

they have been changing it up recently

We like computer machines here

I use Resolve mostly

sometimes vegas if im using windows

#

Vegas ๐Ÿคข

#

God I've not had such an experience with any Media production software than when I've dealt with Vegas

#

It's alright when it works

#

which is rare

#

Resolve is where it is at

#

I mostly deal with Adobe Suite and Apple Suite

#

Resolve is very good for Color grading though if I dont have time to deal with SpeedGrade

#

adobe isn't for me

#

it's not for everyone, yeah.

#

the subscription based model is too much

#

yeah

#

resolve is either free or affordable

#

and has linux support

#

๐Ÿง

#

but it also lacks a lot of input support

#

Like, I'm unable to use TrapCode Effects suite in it

#

which are very important in a lot of VFX

#

Worth noting, RenderMan is free for independent creators to use. If you didn't know.

#

what is renderman?

#

RenderMan is the Pixar software that they kept close to the chest until a few years ago

#

it's used in all disney productions for VFX including Star Wars and some Marvel Movies now

#

they have an NCR license available for it

#

oh yeah, it was used in BladeRunner 2049. I forgot about that

It looks pretty good

@woeful wagon that's why you don't install beta software

the windows store is in beta right?

the xbox app is a skin placed over the store pretty much

#

ive had slow download speeds with the windows store since i started using it

#

like a good 2 years ago

#

i normally get like half of my download speed

full flint
#

I usually get more speeds from it than anywhere else. Typically how signed stores go for me

#

I'll go from 40MB/s in browser to around 100-200MB/s in store

jagged timber
#

Doesn't matter if it's a skin. they might not have implemented the store code properly into the xbox beta app.

woeful wagon
#

i cap out around 40MB/s, the windows store doesnt hit that

#

every store except the windows store hits that

#

all it does is tell the windows store to downlaod it, i can simulate it by going to the game and clicking install

#

it just moves all of the game pass games into one section

#

right now im downloading a game, its been around 2MB/s for the past 30 minutes

#

going between that and not downloading

#

im not sure how you're getting fast speeds with it

#

ill go from 350Mb/s from the speedtest to like 10-50Mb/s on the store

Why is there a new Xbox app for PC

#

They've split it into some new apps. Xbox companion app (For xbox live chat etc), and the xbox app containing the game pass games etc

#

Gamebar contains chat, as does the new xbox app

#

I want both

#

The new Xbox app is PC focused, whereas the old app is a companion app for the console.

#

Can someone DM me a link to all of the apps

I only have the old one

Iโ€™d like the new ones

#

My PC has lots of space

#

Ok

#

There are 2 links

Do I click both

please read the details in the message.

One is for the windows update, one is for the xbox app.

#

Thanks @full flint

#

np

#

I have another question

#

Can I purchase individual games from the Xbox app

#

Yeah I believe so. Some you get discounted though if you own the game pass

#

I mainly just want forza horizon 4

#

The xbox app directly connects with the microsoft store, so any applicable game that is on the microsoft store will be able to be purchased.

#

So can I purchase it via the Xbox app

#

You can indeed.

#

Ok great thanks I love E3

#

Canโ€™t wait for Fortnite announcements tomorrow

#

There is a store tab on the app

#

Great and are they games for PC

#

Yes. It's a PC dedicated app. Everything displayed in it are for PC

#

Ok

#

Now one final thing

#

Does this app support party voice chat cross platform

#

That is handled by Gamebar

#

So

#

But yes, the app also has support

#

Ok thanks

#

It will not be overlayed independently however, and will display in gamebar when the app is closed.

#

Because thatโ€™s the main reason I have the Xbox app now

#

So should I delete the old one and just get the new one?

#

Because party chat is the only reason

#

that is up to you. There's a lot of things you cant do in Gamebar/Xbox app right now that can only be done in Companion App

#

Alright Iโ€™ll keep it

#

Such as handling Achievements and activity feed

#

but it's up to you

#

Also I noticed when I play Fortnite on PC it shows that on the companion app

#

Thatโ€™s all I have to ask happy E3

#

When I try and play games on my Surface Pro 5 it lags a bit I understand this computer is built for office but can run simple games. I was wondering if there is anyway to turn off unneeded background apps services and basically do stuff to boost FPS instead of buying a gaming rig to just play Portal 2 on high graphic or "Fortnite".

full flint

Don't surface run Intel Integrated?

well, they arent discrete GPU

#

so you arent really going to be playing too many games on them

#
Core i7: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640```
formal umbra
#

is it possible to hook up a external graphics card?

full flint
#

If you have an eGPU adapter and a GPU to slot in it, yeah

#

but you arent running it at full resolution, are you?

#

I believe surface pro 5 have a display of what looks to be 2736 x 1824

#

you definitely should keep it around 720 or equivalent to aspect ratio

formal umbra
#

I don't run games at full resolution since that can cause even more unneeded lag

full flint
#

that will improve not only thermals, but performance. Also, don't use google chrome. Like, at all

#

If you're strapped for resources, chrome is definitely not going to help in that regard.

formal umbra
#

Im using opera

full flint
#

That's fine.

#

But realistically, you arent going to be getting much higher than 30fps on those on High

#

if that

formal umbra
#

would disabling indexed on the main disk help?

#

drop them to medium or low and they should run fine

it could, but not by much.

full flint

formal umbra

what should i be looking for on system info/display

#

the name, PNP Device Ip

full flint
#

No, go to the about tab on "System" under settings/control panel

#

If you're on windows 10 is should be at the bottom of the list under the "system" tab

formal umbra
#

m3

full flint
#

I'm going to be truthful, you aren't going to be doing much on that.

formal umbra
#

So alternatively wait for Nvidia GeForce Now beta code

#

or google stadia

full flint
#

or xCloud.

#

an i7 could have lessened the processing strain, but an M3 are very low-performance.

formal umbra
#

if I where to buy a surface I could I tell which version I was getting since when ordering one only lets you choose it's ram

#

how would I

full flint
#

Are you asking for a surface that lets you pick the model?

formal umbra
#

well like is it random for the one you get?

full flint
#

no. you purchase the one you choose. M3 is base model

#

and the cheapest.

#

Realistically if you ever had plans to play games, a surface is not where you'd want to look.

formal umbra
#

ok thank you for the help

full flint
#

the cost-performance ratio is not there.

The performance is also affected by the temperature. The Surface can get pretty hot when playing games. A small USB fan blowing on the back of the casing can actually help a little.

or a laptop cooler pad.

#

But this still wont be ideal, and can still end up with adverse effects on the system itself if you're playing games regularly.

why is there a channel for pc gaming

because PC gaming is a large population, and microsoft cares about its PC community

when i play on my xbox i will be very honest and if you dont want to read this than dont || I think xbox is very poor when compared to a mid range pc, even low end as in gtx 780 low range, I think the pc is better just because its a lot cheaper to upgrade, and you get the freedom you cant get from an xbox, its cheaper in a lot of ways to from pay walls to games being cheaper because there are many different markets on pc for games, I also dont like how you cant change how your os looks, on pc you can change anything you would want to change how it looks.|| Honest thought on xbox

people don't buy consoles to replace PCs

they buy consoles to play on not a PC

sounds like PC is for you

Hi, primarily a PC Gamer here. I stress quality and performance. But this does not replace the fact that I can get an amazing 4K experience at 500 dollars for my TV, where I can relax on my couch. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

And that's not just Xbox either. PS4 as well.

woeful wagon
#

also a pc...

#

i do that all the time with my laptop

#

wirelessly with a ps4 controller as well

full flint
#

hmmm, building a pc just for movies can be harder to do than just buying a console for it i think

woeful wagon
#

i was going to drop around $400-$500 for a 4k gaming pc in the living, to go with my 4k tv

median juniper
#

I have been a PlayStation user all my life. But i have always gravitated towards my friends house who had an xbox! Mainly because of halo...

full flint
#

like if you know some people who can hook you up with some parts than pc can be better

#

I like to use a monitor for playing on pc just because its a high refresh rate with g sync

foggy vigil
#

I think it's important to remember that there are countless trade offs here

woeful wagon
#

thats how i mostly play my games

#

gsync is the best

full flint
#

yeah its pretty good, but when friends come over for some cod we usaully use my tv, just because it s bigger

#

Blu-ray drive alone is like 100 bucks. Xbox is great bang for the buck, there's no denying that

foggy vigil
#

Buy a console, it just works out of the box, ya know. Minimal setup. I have no doubt in my mind that you can build a 4K gaming experience for your living room. It's not the same experience at the end of the day. People will put in their time, effort, money, and other resources for what they want. Doesn't make other choices wrong. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

i work on a PC all day

#

i get home and just wanna turn on a box and pick up a controller

Simplicity is incredibly important

You will always have Pros and Cons though.

#

I like using a xbox for watching netflix or watching things in a higher res, sadly I dont have a 4k tv but its bigger than my monitor by a good amount

woeful wagon
#

yeah im pretty sure it would be cheaper to get a dedicated blue ray drive instead of an internal one for your pc

#

im not sure on that though, havent looked at prices of them for years

#

i know i bought one back in 2011 for $60 though, i still have it

#

an internal one

full flint
#

for just a blue ray player, my family got a ps3 years ago just for watching movies because it was cheaper than regular blue ray players

woeful wagon
#

i do have a ps4 pro though for that

#

$60 for one new

full flint
#

oh

full flint
#

cool

#

thats pretty cheap

woeful wagon
#

the software though, do not lose the disc

full flint
#

ok

woeful wagon
#

if you lose the software, its useless for playing blue ray discs

full flint
#

oh lmao

woeful wagon
#

thats what happened with mine, lol

#

its $100 for the software

full flint
#

damm 100$

woeful wagon
#

there is an open source one, but it only plays a small % of discs

#

its free as well

barren knot
#

I use my Xbox for blurays, it just works

woeful wagon
#

its been awhile since i used a blue ray disc as well

#

I recently got some 4k ones on sale

#

On PC since some Update Dolby atmos has been wonky, and I can't be arsed to fix it ๐Ÿ˜‚

woeful wagon
#

its working fine for me

#

sometimes it disables itself though

#

its probably the may update

#

Idk I run atmos through my graphic card and it stopped working one day

woeful wagon
#

im using my on board sound card

barren knot
#

On board doesn't have the bandwidth for atmos for me

woeful wagon
#

i haven tried atmos on my surround sound setup yet

full flint
#

I have not paid for atmos either. Do not even have surround sound

barren knot
#

Atmos is free if you have an atmos setup

full flint
#

But only speakers right? I don't have one of those

barren knot
#

yeah you need a speaker setup
