The software you're mentioning is called Razer Surround. It is a virtual 5.1-7.1 Surround Sound emulator that produces surround sound for stereo headphones.
This is now easily done using Windows Sonic on Windows 10, at no cost to you. Razer Surround does have issues in and of itself, that's not worth relying on when faced with a decision of good software emulation or good sound quality altogether and all around.
I have a great set of stereo headphones still with the mic still working .. i thought sonic was charged for .. i'll have to revisit that

Dolby Atmos is what you're thinking of. It costs the same price as Razer Surround, but Windows Sonic (Which is also included in the X1 console) is free, part of the OS, and included on any Windows 10 PC.
For a better description of what Windows Sonic is and does, you can read the Microsoft description here ... https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt807491(v=vs.85).aspx
