How to Enable Lossless Audio Playback for Blu-rays with Dolby Atmos & DTS:X

1. What is Lossless Audio in Blu-ray Discs?

Lossless audio formats preserve the original quality of the studio recording, offering bit-perfect sound reproduction without compression losses.

Common Lossless Audio Formats in Blu-rays:

* Dolby Atmos – Object-based 3D surround sound for an immersive experience.

* DTS:X – Flexible 3D surround sound with positional audio.

* Dolby TrueHD – Uncompressed, high-resolution audio.

* DTS-HD Master Audio Studio-quality lossless audio for movies.

Why Lossless Audio Matters?

* Better clarity and dynamic range compared to compressed formats like AAC.

* Supports up to 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution for high-fidelity sound.

* Essential for home theater setups with AV receivers and surround sound systems.

2. System Requirements for Lossless Audio Playback

To enjoy Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio from Blu-rays, ensure you have:

* iToolShare Blu-ray Player (supports bit-perfect audio passthrough).

* An HDMI 2.0 or higher connection (for uncompressed audio).

* A compatible AV receiver that supports Dolby Atmos/DTS:X.

* A home theater sound system (5.1, 7.1, or Dolby Atmos setup).

* A Blu-ray disc that includes lossless audio tracks.

Step 3: Configure Audio Passthrough for Bit-Perfect Sound
