Windows 7 has Dolby Digital Plus Built-in To Deliver Next-Generation Surround Sound
We all love having a better sound quality over on our computers so we can enjoy more while we are working on it. Microsoft knows it and has been extensively collaborating with Dolby Lab for years to improve the personal entertainment experience on PCs.
One thing you may not notice is that Windows 7 has next generation Dolby Digital Plus technology built right in its Media center to offer high-quality multi-channel surround sound, available in Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. For people who don’t know what this Dolby Digital Plus really is,
Dolby Digital Plus delivers premium-quality surround sound to the PC, improving the listening experience of DVDs and digital TV. It complements high-definition video with support for up to 5.1 channels of dramatic HD audio. So whether you’re listening through headphones, stereo speakers, or a 5.1-channel setup, with Dolby Digital Plus you can look forward to warm, rich audio and absolutely stunning clarity.
Because of that, it brings home theater-quality audio to the PC that runs Windows 7, which really improved the listening experience of music, movies, and TV.
