Can anyone confirm if the optical output on the Asus rampage iv black edition has 5.1 channel surround sound? For games like watch dogs that support dolby and dts. I currently use my hdmi and it works fine through my surround sound but if i use optical i can change the sync delay on my reciever. I can with the hdmi but not with the PC for some reason

I know fiber optic is capable of 5.1 dolby and dts i have used that for xbox ps2 ps3 xbox 360 and dvd players. But i heard that this motherboards fiber optic type doesnt send 5.1 channels.. And when i look at the manual of asus rampafe iv black edition the only option for 5.1 they show is those other inputs and optical is for 2 channels. So it says on the manual.
