Hey all...I've got a sort of detailed question that I have yet to be able to answer. Anyone with experience is greatly appreciated.
I just moved into a new place where I had the builder wire in a 5.1 system into my office (so I can do spreadsheets more effectively?) Once I set my computer up, I couldn't wait to run a "spreadsheet" in full 5.1 glory with my Klipsch surround through a Yamaha RX receiver. I ran fiber optic from the onboard card to my receiver, with a DVI connection to my monitor. No matter the settings I use, I am stuck with essentially a stereo output...
A few words on my setup:
Windows 7 64bit
Rampage II Extreme (with included soundblaster x-fi that is apparently not actually a soundblaster product)
AMD 6970 x 2
My monitor is 1920x1200.
If I use HDMI pass through the receiver, it will only send 1080p to the monitor, which is obviously sub-par.
Can anyone start pointing me in the right direction? Thanks!!!!
