Solved! 5.1 Audio From PC via HDMI via SPDIF Splitter via Optical Cable to Home Theatre System

[BOWDO68]

Gday,
Im trying to setup a 5.1 surround system through my PC. The HDMI is connected through the graphics card to SPDIF splitter (https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-Splitter-Digital-embedder-Converter/dp/B012VJHK5A like this one) and then from HDMI to the TV and an optical cable to the home theatre system. The problem i have is that my PC picks up that my TV is 2-channel and therefore only outputs 2-channel. How can i output the 5.1 channel audio through the HDMI cable?
By the way Im running Windows 10

Can you list your TV, Home Theatre, and PC specs so we can get the 'big picture' please

There is a switch on the audio extractor to select 2.0 or 5.1.
Check that.

Hello, I am looking for something similar and did you try to switch to 5.1? What happen? Did the PC find a 5.1 system of speakers and played true DTS or Dolby in 5.1?
