<br></div></blockquote></div>Don't set myth up to 5.1, set it up for stereo. If you have passthrough setup correctly, the data will still be 5.1 if that is what is started out as. the 5.1 setting is just there to confuse you ;-)<div>

I also don't much like that old howto that you referenced, didn't have much luck with it, which is why I wrote the one I wrote. However, I don't have HDMI so am not much help.</div>
