RE: Gotham 13.1 spdif stereo only - fritsch - 2014-10-26
Enable passthrough, enable AC3, enable DTS, and if you need 5.1 transcoding, enable AC3 transcoding.
Edit: It is 100% correct that SPDIF users cannot change their speaker layout to 5.1 - as this is a PCM config and no spdif has 6 channels - they all have 2. They can only play "virtual formats" that compress 6 channels over those two pcm channels.
