Immersive audio is a technology that aims to create a more realistic and immersive sound experience for the user. It enhances the spatial perception of audio by using various techniques such as surround sound, binaural audio, and object-based audio. While immersive audio is not natively supported on Windows, there are alternative solutions available that can provide a similar experience.

One popular alternative is the use of virtual surround sound software. These software solutions simulate surround sound by processing the audio signal and creating a virtual soundstage. They can be used with any headphones or speakers and provide an immersive audio experience for movies, games, and music.

Another alternative is the use of Dolby Atmos for headphones. Dolby Atmos is a spatial audio technology that creates a three-dimensional sound experience. It allows for precise positioning of audio objects in a virtual space, providing a more immersive and realistic sound experience. Dolby Atmos for headphones is available as a software solution for Windows and can be used with any headphones.

1. Virtual surround sound software:
