Hi. I have some movies on the pc with surround sound and the audio decoder says Input: 5.1 etc and Output: 5.1 etc. However when hooked up to my surround amp using a hdmi cable it only receives two channels. Any thoughts please?

sky hd does give 5.1 sound via hdmi.

I will add that playing movies with vlc I only seem to get stereo, but playing them through

PowerDVD10 they play with the 5.1 surround track. The behaviour seems the same with hdmi and optical.

That has me curious, I might investigate further.

Use VLC and under Audio, change the Audio Device.

Don't select the 5.1 option - instead select the option which is named something like 'A/52 over hdmi'. the exact text may be slightly different depending on ur soundcard. (This option is probably at the bottom of the list)

(K-lite 4.0.0 x64)

So your going on record to say you get 5.1 digital surround sound through a HDMI connection? (And you would be the first and only person I know of that can)

It's all gone quiet!

If you can get DD 5.1 over hdmi on Sky, I'll be amazed. Maybe, he's talking about surround sound like Pro Logic.

Yes

Are you going on record to say -

You get '5.1 dolby digital' from your sky HD box via HDMI?

Just re-read everything and I think he wants 5.1 on his PC to watch skyplayer.

Is your graphics card capable of this? does skyplayer even offer 5.1 not sure but I dont think it has to do with codecs
