Your mobo has http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/vt2021/ that supports DTS Connect for surround over SPDIF (the other format that's not supported is DD Live)

Your receiver doesn't show any support for DTS Connect (or DD Live) http://www.sony-asia.com/product/bdv-e3200

That says to me you'll only get surround over HDMI with that mobo/AVR combo.

Here's another good discussion of surround and SDPIF - http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/833487-5-1-Surround-using-optical-SPDIF-Forums
