Dolby Audio X2 Windows APP
by Dolby Laboratories, Inc.
Overview
Dolby Audio X2 Windows APP is a software program developed by Dolby Laboratories. The most common release is 0.4.0.22, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named DolbyBlue.exe. The setup package generally installs about 25 files and is usually about 25.82 MB (27,071,196 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1).
