Use Dolby Atmos and other audio features on your Galaxy phone

Whether you're watching a zombie movie or listening to some slow jams, Dolby Atmos will add clarity and separation to give you a superior listening experience.

Using two fingers, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel. Swipe to and tap Dolby Atmos to turn it on or off. You may need to add Dolby Atmos to quick settings if it doesn't appear.

To access more advanced settings for Dolby Atmos, touch and hold the icon. Then, select your desired setting for the type of entertainment you're enjoying.

Dolby Atmos already makes mobile games sound amazing, but with your Galaxy device games will be even more lifelike and immersive. Dolby Atmos for gaming will amplify even the lowest sounds, like footsteps in a horror game.

If you're listening to your favorite song, but something sounds funny, you can adjust the Equalizer settings to fix it. You can also adjust other audio settings to make the song sound even better.
