Hello
So i have a problem, or i will i have a problem i suppose.
I made an order last night of the items in the title, its got WAF so i can have it in the living room. I recently bought a new TV too. A un55f8000/ue55f8005.
So how do i get a real surround sound out of this setup?
Because, i now read that are some problems with the sonos playbar, dts, and that most TVs dont do 5.1 over optical if the input is HDMI.
I have a mac mini (running windows) connected to the TV using HDMI.
Now the playbar will be connected trough an optical cable to the TV.
Most files on my NAS is dts mkvs.
How do i get 5.1 sound? I guess i have to fiddle around with audio options in xbmc, but i just wonderd if anyone found any that worked. Also since most TVs (panasonic vt50 for example) wont support 5.1 over optical if the input is hdmi (my input is hdmi - mac mini). Will i loose 5.1 all together?
I cant find out if the un55f8000/uef8005 supports 5.1 over optical if input is HDMI.
Sorry for all the questions, i really just want this to work when i get it
