Problems enabling 5.1 in PowerDVD

While trying to set up PowerDVD to play 5.1 surround through my Audigy sound card I have run into some troubles. The audio options panel in power dvd configuration menu allows you to specify several 2 speaker set ups or alternately use the spdif out. As I have an 5.1ch analog speaker set up connected to my audigy I selected the spdif out, however after doing this Powerdvd will only allow me to enable the lpcm 2.0 stereo format and not dolby digital 5.1. I try to select 5.1 through the several dvd's audio menu's but then it immediately reverts back to lcpm. Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is no right and wrong. There's only fun and boring.

Yeah well thats what I thought and why I specified I was using analog out in the post but seeing as that was the only option given other then the 2 speaker modes I thought Id try it, and as it did produce sound I wasnt sure about its meaning. Perhaps with nothing connected to the optical out on the audigy it just reverts back to default settings or something and thus I still got sound output. In anycase Ill have a look on the Power DVD site see if I cant find something about its surround options

As I think. I have four software DVD Players, all bundled, only the one bundled along Asus DVD-ROM is 2ch version while others are all 6ch version.

You never know how stupid you are until you have done something stupid enough for you to realize it.
