XBMC - Receiver displays PCM instead of DTS - NBAJ2K - 2011-09-19

I have been using XBMC on my ATV2, but finally decided to load it on my Windows PC as well. I have the PC hooked to a receiver and my Panasonic TV.

For some reason when I play files through XBMC, my receiver lists it as being broadcast as PCM. When I play the same file through my PC regularly (I use VLC or Windows Media Player), it shows up as DTS.

Is there a setting I have to change on my XBMC so that it will broadcast the audio correctly? I looked in the settings for an option, but didn't see one.

I'm very new to this, and any assistance would be great.

Thanks,

~J

Figures, for some reason I didn't see the audio setting under 'system' thanks! That would definitely make sense, since it defaulted to 2.0!
