Hi everyone,

I have a HTPC build running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with XBMC 12 and using a ATI Radeon 5450 connected to a Samsung C7000 plasma. When connected the HTPC only has support for 2.0 audio. I have installed ATI HDMI drivers, realtek audio drivers.

It will not give me the option to select 5.1 from within windows and says only 2.0 is supported but I believe the 5450 supports 5.1.

Thanks in advance.

the Ati hdmi drivers are included with the Catalyst driver suite.

Disable the onboard audio in your computer's motherboard bios.

Remove the Realtek drivers using the "uninstall a program" option.

Hope this helps
