Asus P7P55D-e Pro 5.1 Audio

[Ritz61190]

Just wondering, I've plugged a coax audio cable and now have my TOSLINK audio cable to my sound receiver, and I can only get stereo sound.
I was able to get 5.1 channel when I had all the approprate 3.5mm jacks taken up, but now that I went digital, it doesn't work.
Is there something that I'm missing on motherboard configurations or drivers?
You'd think they would make 5.1 standard on all technology now.

Same issue here. I have been looking around the sound settings in win7, and even in the bios. there doesnt seem to be any setting in there... Have you figured this out yet?

I think Asus P7P55 series motherboards do not have 5.1 sound output through optical S/PDIF. Please see http://support.asus.com/faq/asus-faq.aspx?type=6&no=B2A2F2F2-F3C8-0494-43EE-4B1AF0C54951&model=P7P55D-E PRO&SLanguage=en-us

Sorry I am of no further help.
