Hi everyone,
I'm currently using a Sapphire ATI HD 3870 video card that outputs sound over HDMI to my home theatre receiver that's hooked up to my TV. I get sound, but only stereo, NOT 5.1. It's supposed to output 5.1 but currently is not.
I'm using Windows 7 and all of my drivers are up to date (using the latest ATI catalyst software). I go into Sound in the Control Panel and right click on my "ATI HDMI Output" to "configure speakers" and there is only a stereo option available, no surround option. When I click next there is a box I can can check that says "front and left." Underneath it there is a "surround speaker" box that is unable to be checked, it's greyed out.
Any thoughts? I just want 5.1 audio via my HDMI, not stereo.
