setup Win 7 64 bit, HDMI out from Radeon HD6950 2GB GPU for sound & video to Onkyo 606 full HD supported amp
ok here is issues
when playing movies, I get full surround sound whether DD or DTS etc.. (inc HD audio) if I play games, Im only getting sound from fronts, I have found the problem but not the solution
When movies, all is passthru so amp does decoding
When games, there is no option for passthru so pc decodes & sends sound to amp (I presume)
What is confusing, is if I go to playback devices, select HDMI AMD Device, configure speakers to 5.1, when I do the test, the ping pong sounds that should be for rears, come out the fronts insead
Any ideas why & how to remedy ?
Thanks
