I was hoping to get some help, I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
First my setup:
TV: m501d-a2r (supports bitstreaming for the optical out)
vizio S4251w-B4 5.1 Soundbar connected via optical from tv
My PS4 sends the DD 5.1 to the sounbar from the optical out on my TV no problems, as well as my chromecast
My HTPC has a GTX 670 but windows only shows as a 2 channel output through HDMI, I have made sure that all the settings are the same on each input, but it's only my HTPC that is having problems trying to send a 5.1 signal to my tv.
I rather not run another audio cable to the soundbar, is there a software or hardware based solution (maybe a HDMI switcher)?
Thanks guys!
