My 3870 does audio through a built in Realtek sound driver. I can set movies to pass SPDIF using AC3 filter and my receiver decodes it and I get 5.1 sound.
However in games. I am only getting stereo sound. I don't have any option to pass the signal via SPDIF (in the game) to let my receiver decode it. The realtek HDMI out is only sending 2 channel even if I select 5.1 in the game.
Is there anyway to get 5.1 from games to my receiver? I have an XFI creative sound card, but I really don't wan't to buy another 75 foot optical cable and have to run it to my projector.
