Hello! I can only post here because I think you're the only people that could really be able to help...
I spent the last 3 hours on google, without any result.
Setup until today afternoon:
onkyo tx sr608, 2 speakers, windows 7, GTX 570, HDMI cable.
Today evening: added 2 surround speakers (that means from 2.0 to 4.0)
I put together the cables, I did the sound test integrated with the onkyo (with its microphone). I went to windows, set the output to 4.0 instead of stereo, and enjoyed my first wonderful pixar short with surround speakers (played with XBMC, output set to 4.0).
Went to dinner, ate, went right back to the pc.....surround doesn't work. The windows test doesn't play on surround speakers (it did before), if I click on the surround, the sound is played by the front speakers. Nobody touched any cable. I restarted averything (onkyo, windows, tv) many times....still same problem. If I play now the same pixar short in xbmc, there is no surround at all. The speaker test in windows plays all the 4 sound on the front speakers. Disinstalled drivers 2 times....nothing.
It had been so smooth....new speakers, new cable, set windows to 4.0 and enjoy movies. I don't see the point. There is no reason why it worked 4 hours ago and it didn't work 30 minutes later.
What am I supposed to do
This really drives me crazy. I'm using the latest drivers.
