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.

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.

1. From Settings, tap Sounds and vibration, and then tap Sound quality and effects. 
2. Tap Equalizer to choose your desired settings. You can choose Normal, Pop, Classic, Jazz, Rock, or Custom. Each option automatically adjusts the bass, treble, instruments, and vocal settings to fit the music you're listening to.

For example, maybe you love to feel that low bass when you're listening to your favorite genre of music. Tap Custom, and then use your finger to move the bars up and down, based on your personal preference.
