DTS® Virtual:X® is an advanced spatial audio solution for Windows-based PCs that delivers immersive, three-dimensional sound over built-in speakers and headphones. Backed by more than 30 years of DTS audio innovation, DTS Virtual:X creates accurate, believable sound placement above, around and close to the listener—helping users feel more immersed in games, movies and video content without external speakers.
Immersive 3D Audio from Any PC
DTS Virtual:X transforms everyday PC audio into an expansive, lifelike sound experience. By rendering sound cues in three-dimensional space, it enables more realistic positioning and depth—whether users are tracking in-game action or getting lost in a movie.
Designed to work with built-in laptop speakers and headphones, DTS Virtual:X brings spatial audio to thin-and-light devices where traditional surround sound solutions fall short.
Engineered for Performance and Precision
At the core of DTS Virtual:X is device-specific tuning performed by seasoned DTS audio engineers. Each system is optimized to extract the best possible performance from its unique speaker configuration, avoiding generic, one-size-fits-all processing.
This precision tuning enables more consistent audio quality across devices, while optional DSP offload support helps improve computing efficiency and reduce CPU load to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of PC platforms.
Clearer Dialogue, Better Understanding
DTS Virtual:X supports DTS Clear Dialogue, an advanced dialogue enhancement solution powered by machine learning–based audio separation. By isolating speech from background sounds and effects, DTS Clear Dialogue improves intelligibility to make spoken content easier to hear during movies, streaming and other video experiences.
The result is a more balanced, accessible listening experience, especially in complex or action-heavy audio mixes.
Flexible Integration and Broad Platform Support
DTS Virtual:X is designed for seamless integration across the Windows PC ecosystem. It supports both traditional Windows systems and Windows on ARM, with compatibility across leading CPU and DSP platforms.
A companion user-facing application enables quick time to market, giving users access to content modes, audio enhancements and dialogue controls. For deeper customization, flexible third party APIs allow OEMs to integrate DTS Virtual:X controls directly into their own applications—tailoring the experience across product lines and user segments.
