I am going to buy a Asus Vivobook 15X AMD ( M3504).
I found that there are 2 formats of sound systems.
One is Sonic Master and one is Dolby Atmos.
I know Dolby Atmos are a little bit better than Sonic Master.
My question is why Asus have 2 type of sound systems?
Regardless the price, may I know what is your suggestion? SonicMaster and Dolby Atmos?

I believe that SonicMaster is engineered more towards Audiophile enthusiast, while Dolby Atmos was designed for Video/Cinema type.

If you are into Sound Engineering, the SonicMaster is your best bet, else if you enjoy a good sound quality while watching/streaming/editing movies then Dolby Atmos is the best choice here.

It depends on what you want to use the laptop for.


Hope this helps...

It's all marketing

Dolby Atmos, dts, Nahimic, these are seen common on laptops

SonicMaster is Asus own in house one

It really does not matter
just try and see if you like the sound and that's it

My previous desktop PC sound system is Realtek. I need to install 2 drivers, 1 is for board driver and 1 is Dolby digital driver. The sound effect is very good.

In this case, either SonicMaster or Dolby Atmos... just pick your choice that suits you the best, if you happens or able to do a test on that machine, might as well give it a try as suggested by PRSXFeng...

I’d go for Dolby Atmos if you can swing it. I had a laptop with SonicMaster before, and it was decent, but Dolby Atmos really does make a difference for movies and games. Asus probably offers both to cover different budgets and user needs. If you’re into good audio, the Dolby Atmos is definitely worth it!
