Hi guys. Ive been struggling the past two days with this and I cant seem to get it working :/
I built my computer myself installed Windows 7 and the system has:
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz
MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 760
CORSAIR CX Series CX750 750W
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Thermaltake Chaser Series Chaser MK-1
The problem is I know my mobo's onboard audio supports 5.1 but I dont think the Realtek audio drivers are working correctly because im not getting surround at all just 2 channels from my front and right speaker. My audio receiver is a STR K7000 and im hooked up to my Toshiba TV via HDMI and the PC is connected to the receiver via fiber optic. Ive tried playing movies that have 6 channels audio but I can only get these two to play. If I let the sound carrry over hdmi and then hook the optic cable from the tv to the receiver the speakers play but its not 5.1 my recievers blue light that shows its encoding the channels doesnt light up. My receiver works fine with my xbox and ps3 via optic cable and was wanting some help as I basically wasted my day on this problem. Thanks in advance sorry for grammar.
UPDATE: After restoring my receiver to factory settings I no longer get sound from all my speakers using the PC > HDMI to Tv > Optic to receiver
