I've had my mini for a week now. I'm just about at my wits end.
I have not been able to get 5.1DD or DTS from any on-line
services. I've tried itunes and netflix and at best could only manage
'MULTI-CHANNEL pcm'. I have an Anthem MRX 300 for a year
so I'm familar with its operation. I've tried optical-in,and HDMI
to my AVR. I even went and bought a usb DVD drive and
was able to get DD 5.1.
I messed around with the 'audio-midi' panel so much that now
I cant get ANY sound at all.
So now I am reinstalling Mac OS X,and am going to try and start
over,using a little more caution. There certainly is alot of conflicting
info on many forums on how to resolve this. Confusing to say the least.
At this point I'm just about ready to take it back and just get an
AppleTV. If I cant get 5.1 from this baby then I
dont want it.
I think I am going to install 'XBMC' before I try
any thing else.
Sorry for the rant, ANY pointers would be appreciated.
