What is teh secret to getting 5.1 sound from ROKU??

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Just bought the ROKU standard player last week and have the video connected via HDMI directly to the television however the audio is connected to the receiver by a toslink fiber optic cable.

So far the receiver only plays everything back in 2.0 channel sound. I went to Amazon to buy a movie that was specifically coded to 5.1 but it still played back in 2.0

What am I doing wrong?? in the Roku setup, I did enable 5.1 sound.

Still listening to stereo. Data transfer speed in from Comcast at approx 10-12Mbps. --Greg--

p.s. Also, since I only use a wired internet, I elected to go with the model that does not offer the wireless or USB port. Was that a mistake?? What could the USB port be used for?

All the Roku players support wireless.

You might want to turn on the debugging option to see what quality of stream you are actually getting. On the remote press HOME 5x, REW 3x, FF 2x to bring up a menu where you can set debug options (among other things).
