Beam 2 xbox games sound problems.

I have all the settings correct on tv and xbox and have done trueplay. The sound is awful it does not play half the sounds at an audible level when playing games and has no directional audio even in stereo. In Atmos you need to turn it to 60+% to hear ambient noises under that its like having ear plugs in. Yet i can watch the same game being played in YouTube and it has full surround sound and you can hear sounds that you can't hear playing games directly. Feel like i wasted £400 for a mono speaker

There is no way you can “hear footsteps of enemies and what direction it was from” on YouTube.  YouTube videos are stereo only.  Something is fishy here. 

 

so why do the 5.1 test videos on Youtube hit my various playbase and play:1 speakers accurately?

If i watch jackfrags youtube as an example with it set to atmos you can when he plays fps games for instance it is simulated and it sound 1000 times better than when i play it. Its not just directional its all ambient/background noise are very low i hear sounds on youtube video i have never heard in game my self. Also i was playing Marvel rivals in the practice area and the foot steps og bots only audible when facing away.
