I have connected my Zotac HD-ID11 to a TV with HDMI cable. The TV has 2.0 sound and not DTS (i think). I am forwarding the sound to a reciever with optical cable. The reciever supports DTS and Dolby Digital.
When I used linux, this worked, but after switching to windows it looks like i can only get 2.0 sound.
When I look at the HDMI audio device in Windows, it looks like Windows has detected that I can only use stereo audio, and no DTS or Dolby D.
If I enable DTS or Dolby Digital in XBMC, i get an error message "Cannot init. audio device" and not sound. I get sound when i disable them, but i thik it is only stereo.
How can I change the settings so that Windows "Knows" that the HDMI unit supports 5.1 sound, and DTS / Dolby Digital?
Info about my system:
Zotac HD-ID11 with Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit
LG 50PG3000 plasma TV
XBMC dharma beta 3
