I don't post much but this is a deal I noticed last night.
DOLBY ATMOS for Headphones for Windows 10 PCs, XBOX One, and XBOX SERIES S/X is on sale for $ 10.49 (Normal price $14.99). If you aren't familiar...only Windows Sonic is supported out of the box for Xbox consoles and Windows 10 PCs,
Dolby Atmos and DTS are extra and require installation / activation.
You will need to install the DOLBY ACCESS app (which comes with a 7-day free ATMOS trial) via the Microsoft store on Windows 10 & Xbox Consoles.
Via that app you can access the purchase of DOLBY ATMOS as well as the settings. You also can go directly to the link for purchase.
This rarely ever goes on sale though I do know vouchers for a free copy are included with some RIG headsets.

can you explain, how to pay?
1) Preferred the default sound of Atmos over DTS:X in general testing in the games I play most
2) Noticed that DTS:X seems to have better reviews and is newer FWIW, but it's really a personal preference
3) Especially preferred Atmos sound in what seemed to be native content (i.e. Warzone), and it seems like there is more Atmos "native" in games (such as Cyberpunk)
4) There is one game (Overwatch) where the Atmos for Headphones license is built in. Unclear if other games are going this way, but if they do you don't need this license.
5) DTS:X has custom built-in profiles for certain headphones, mine is not included.
6) In true Slickdeals fashion, I decided to buy both given the sales. Plan to try out both when I start a new game, but think I'll end up using Atmos as my default, then DTS:X mostly for DTS:X native movies if I watch them with headphones on my PC or Xbox.
