Question Any display card or Laptop that can send 5.1 sound through HDMI to TV?

[J_George]

I use My Laptop through HDMI to send everything to my home theater.

From my research so far discovered it is the display card of the laptop that handles the sound for HDMI, which cannot be changed from stereo.

Any display cards or Laptops today allow 5.1 through HDMI currently?

If your home theater has optical or coaxial SPDIF input, you can get USB audio card with corresponding output, just for audio.
