As of CC 2018 and newer, Premiere Pro relies on native OS Dolby decoding. However, this feature is only available on Windows 8 and newer.

I need Dolby Audio decoding right now. Upgrading my OS to Windows 8 or 10 is not an option. What can I do?

For Adobe, if you're still running Windows 7, one of the only choices that you have for Dolby decoding support is to purchase the full $595-plus-tax version of the Minnetonka Surcode for Dolby Digital Plus. The $295 version for Adobe users is an encoder only and will not decode.

Find a place to buy the decoder

I don't use Dolby, but I think your need is discussed somewhere in these LONG message threads

No more Dolby export https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2396890

Is there really no other option than to buy the decoder. Audacity and VLC both support playing back Dolby Audio and both are free (and open-source).
