Hi All,
I bought an Onkyo TX-NR636 as I plan to slowly upgrade the speakers in my 5.1 setup. Currently my PC is HDMI from my 780ti to receiver and then HDMI from receiver to television. I use the PC 50/50 HTPC and gaming PC. My issue is as follows:
If I set my 780ti as default audio device and select 5.1 as speaker setup, windows always outputs in 5.1 mode. Even when I play a 2 channel mp3. If I set Windows to 2.0 any surround sources seem to be virtualized surround and not true dolby/dts. This is troublesome because I was under the impression that my receiver would be aware of the source and handle the audio accordingly.
For example Neo6 DTS mode (emulated surround) is only available if windows is set to 2.0. I would like to have the ability to leave the PC in 5.1 mode, but enable Neo6/Prologic while stereo sources are playing. I haven't been able to figure this out.
Any thoughts?
