Some TV's will not allow pass-thru 5.1 from external sources (blu-ray player, DirecTV, HTPC, etc), but it allows pass-thru 5.1 when playback through internal sources (OTA, NetFlix, Vudu, etc). You can try to connect to connect your system this way- HTPC to TV using HDMI cable and then from TV to soundbar using Optical cable.....(2014-01-29, 22:32)tommyonegun Wrote: I have that sound bar hooked up to my vizio tv through optical. The vizio tv actually passes through dd and dts at 5.1. I then have my tv connected to htpc via hdmi.
If you have a vizio tv along with this sound bar, check the audio settings on the tv. You may have an option to change the output from 2.0 to dd/dts 51.
i have a vizio e601-a3 60", wheres this option?
To find out for sure, you can try it and play around with it....
