But everything else that is 5.1 outputs as PCM which doesn't go through multichannel. Things that are natively DTS or DD works fine like videos playing on the computer, even the Netflix app. My receiver can't accept HDMI so I'm using the audio extractor as a bypass but it should work the same.
How mine is connected is: Computer HDMI -> Audio Extractor -> Toslink (optical) to the sound Receiver Sorry, I disconnected everything so I can't grab a screenshot atm. It does state what format it can accept but there's no option to select anything. Hi thanks for the advice, is yours using Realtek to do the DD and DTS? I've noticed mine is using nVidia HD Audio. Sadly, a lot of newer games doesn't do surround anymore in PCs because people are content with stereo gaming headsets.
How do you have it connected to the sound system?Ĭomputer HDMI -> Sound system receiver -> TV?Ĭomputer HDMI -> TV -> ARC/Optical out to Receiver? By the way that DD/DTS from Realtek Digital out supports 2.0 to 7.1.Ĭould you give picture of what you see? Or the one below is your?
You are talking about by other high end computers are all simulated surround where it will get stereo source and upmix to 5.1, 7.1 etc. For native surround sound the game has to support it, eg. Hi, I have a clean installed GM501GS and mine shows both DD and DTS option.
