some games have the option of what you can send the output as in their option menu. uncharted 2 springs to mind here. Others have default settings. I may be wrong, but i believe you can change the sound settings on the system itself to output whatever you want it too.
It doesn't seem to work though. If a game has Dolby Digital 5.1 and you set PS3's output settings to LPCM 2, 5.1, or 7.1, it will just output as 2 channels (stereo).
