Hey bluray - you got him from here on this? Could be his driver settings in Windows audio panel or his receiver settings. I know you can sort him out

I do have all the settings as you show in those photos.
What I'm just realizing (and I should have mentioned this earlier) is that I have and hdmi matrix switch to output a signal to a second tv. I'm thinking this is the source of the problem. Ill try and victim e a detailed explanation of my setup later. (I'm in class ATM)

unfortunately no luck. I got rid of the HDMI switch by using the dual screen mode of the Radeon video card. Problem is, it didnt help fix the problem. The receiver still wont let me choose surround decoders other than "straight". I think i'll call yamaha and ask what they think.
I'm honestly considering using a small 4 ch amp connected to the preouts to power the surrounds in the 5.1 set up and i should be able to split the signal for each surround, effectively getting 7.1 channels.
The reason to do this is because my side surrounds are too far in front of my rear seats of my theater and i don't feel the surround experience is as enveloping. I realize this is all hard to visualize without pictures.

Make sure that it is setup similar to my screen shots below in W7 control panel-
Do these for XBMC-
Download- "XBMC Beta3 + HD-Audio + Global AV Delay"
Configure audio output as shown below:
BTW i noticed in the middle picture that you have you speaker configuration set to "stereo". Should mine be set to stereo, or 7.1?

It shouldn't have anything to do audio setting.
I think it is better to call Yamaha for help or visit their website- RX-V667. There is firmware update for this model too!

SO I called Yamaha, and they gave me instructions on some settings to change. Didnt seem to help, but then after rewiring my setup due to a faulty HDMI wire, The Problem went away.
Anyway, Having the 7.1 really helps fill my theater room. So thats one step closer to having the perfect setup. So thank you everyone for the help and support
