I picked up an Acer Revo 3610 and got around to getting it all set up running windows 7 and xbmc...all video works great (aside from some major over scan issues).


My big concern right now is that I can't get 5.1 to work at all. I have the option in the sound control panel to 5.1 and I have xbmc set to use 5.1 but I have nothing coming to the rear speakers.


HDMI to Onkyo receiver. I've got the latest drivers.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm at work (so don't have my Acer Revo 3610 in front of me), but as I recall:


1) Setup HDMI in Windows to output in stereo (not 5.1).


2) Set whatever codecs you're using to do S/PDIF passthrough for Dolby Digital / DTS audio.


I used the Shark007 codec pack (you need to install 32-bit and 64-bit versions). I disabled AC3Filter and set FFDShow to passthrough digital audio. This will allow your receiver to do the decoding.


Hope this works for you!

I haven't installed any codecs aside from what xbmc uses...not sure if that will make a difference.
