You can now improve the sound quality of your LG V30 even more thanks to DTS:X. This feature was released via a software update for this particular phone but looks like LG did not do a good job at implementing it. DTS:X is a new audio codex for LG devices and is very similar to Dolby Atmos. It has a few software tricks to improve the listening experience. It tags the sound sources with a location in a 3D environment, and it gives a surround sound effect.
According to the forum users, LG included DTS in the update of November 2018. Apparently, this feature does not appear as a separate feature and cannot be turned off or on. Luckily, you can enable it on your LG V30 by modifying a system file.
The developers have found an easy way to fully enable DTS on your LG V30, so you can enjoy full 3D surround sound. All you have to do is to modify the Build.prop file. Follow the guide below for a detailed process.
