before I dive into the issues I am having, I am just going to give you the specs of all of the equipment I am using.
Computer:
Asus Crosshair V formula Z
Msi GTX 970 4G OC edition
AMD FX 9590
8gb ram
Sound System: Harman Kardon HKTS 20BQ with a Pioneer VSX 524 K receiver
So I have been trying to hook up this home theater setup to my computer for gaming, watching netflix, spotify, and all of that good stuff and for some reason I can't get it to work. Whenever I want to play any kind of sound it only comes out of the front two speakers and, depending on which settings I use, sometimes the subwoofer. Whenever I test my audio in the windows sound management all speakers will test correctly and make sound. However, I cannot get sound to come out of anything but the front two speakers and occasionally the subwoofer when I am doing anything else. I have it hooked up via hdmi to receiver from computer and then hdmi from receiver to computer monitor. I also have an SPDIF cable but I am not really sure how that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
