‘DTS Audio’ — Windows Desktop App

DTS licenses multiple audio enhancement technologies to Window PC manufacturers so that consumers can enjoy high quality immersive audio experiences over headphones and with the built-in speakers. To help simplify the technology integration effort, DTS creates “reference” apps for users to change advanced DTS audio settings – which manufacturers are free to integrate as-is or to modify as they see fit.
