Dolby Access app is supposed to help you make the most of your Dolby Atmos hardware. For example, you can easily enhance the sound quality for a better experience through devices such as a headphone. What’s more important to note is that the app has a wizard-based setup which allows you to press next, choose the right options and configure the audio system in just a matter of seconds.

“Set up, try, and experience Dolby Atmos, a breakthrough sound technology that pulls you inside the action with immersive, moving audio for your games and movies,” Dolby explains the app in Microsoft Store listing.
It might be worth noting that the Dolby Access is free but you can enjoy support for headphones for just one day and you may need to pay $15 to unlock full functionality. Needless to say, the trial period is enough to determine whether it’s worth purchasing the app or not.
