I'm having trouble getting my PC to output Dolby digital 5.1 audio to my speakers. I have a set of Logitech z5500s and I have them hooked up to my PC via optical audio cable.

When I play a game from steam my speaker's receiver say "Pro Logic movie" which as far as I know isn't true 5.1. I know my motherboard is capable of 5.1 digital as I can test it in control panel and the digital test works just fine. Also when I have them hooked up in the same format (ie. same cable same speakers)to my playstation I get dolby 5.1

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I'm also using the Realtek hd audio Manager.

Not sure if this is the correct section. Let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage audio devices (under Sound tab) > right click Realtek Digital Ouput(Optical) > Properties > Advanced tab

In the Default Format, select DTS Interactive (5.1 Surround)

Thanks for the reply. It isn't giving me that option, I'm only getting various options for two channel-studio and dvd quality. My motherboard is a P8Z77-VLX according to the manual it supports 8.1 channels.

Any ideas why this would be happening?
