I have a DTS/Dolby capable 5.1 surround sound. It's connected to my HTPC via S/PDIF optical cable. However, in System audio settings, no matter what settings I choose there, the sound never works unless I choose "Analog". What does it take to get those other settings to work?

Yes. It even works within the menus of XBMC. It's just that if I choose HDMI or Optical as the audio, the movies are silent. If I choose Analog, the sound is crappy, but there. Since I have an optical audio cable (and my HTPC is connected via HDMI) why do I have to choose Analog?
