    Technically can't get 5.1 to motherboard

    I used something called 5K Player and VLC Media Player, as well as the Windows 10 default movie player and it didn't work. Matter of fact no sound came out of the speakers at all using the Movies and TV option that comes with windows. I'm assuming that if I go play a game that uses 5.1 it wont...

    Technically can't get 5.1 to motherboard

    Hey everyone. So I have been trying for months to get 5.1 surround to my PC using a Sony HTIB (with only 1 HDMI output), and I finally just figured out I needed the receiver on the "TV" setting instead of "Audio" so that it uses the digital audio cable for god knows what reason. I just went to...

    How do I connect my 5.1 receiver to my PC?

    Can you explain what the difference is? How do I know what my PC can decode? I know my receiver can decode DTS, if not some other format of DTS like you mentioned. Very sorry for the late reply, PC issues.

    How do I connect my 5.1 receiver to my PC?

    I will definitely try and get digital audio working, both machines have an input/output for it and my PC can decode DTS, so this option should work 100%. All I can really do now is try to buy the cable, I don't have any in my name. Thanks for your help.

    How do I connect my 5.1 receiver to my PC?

    It has an optical audio input that supports 5.1, and I am fairly certain my motherboard has one of those sockets. (It has an s/pdif input) My PC also does support 5.1 because the back panel of my motherboard accepts 3.5mm cables for SR, SL, C, SUB, and FL, FR inputs. My only problem is that...
