Hi Brian (and all)<br><br>I struggled for a long time firstly with an MSI Media Live with HDMI > SONY LCD > SPDIF > Receiver, which equaled no go and for a long time assumed it was the MSI not outputing 5.1.<br><br>
Then I got a ZOTAC ATOM board so I could use VDPAU for the hi def stuff properly (anything with 5.1 like Jools Holland would stutter on MSI) and knew pretty much that a standard install of .22 should just work, but still it didn't work, so I got a new receiver (Marantz - lovely clean sound) with HDMI inputs, sent the new MYTH/FE into the RECEIVER via HDMI and wow 5.1 in glorious .... well 5.1!<br>
<br>That was my experience so I think for whatever reason the TV would not pass 5.1 down the SPDIF? <br><br>Although I confess I've not tried using it the old way even though the SPDIF is there for the 'live' TV sound......<br>
<br>HTH (this was a quick brain dump so apologies for grammar etc.,)<br><br>David<br><br>PS By the way while I'm here can I thank all of the MythTV people for a great system<br><br>PPS I'm about to merge my SD/BE (.19) & HD/BE (.21+) into one new one (.23) so maybe say a little prayer for me......<br>
