</div>Which I suppose is reasonable for a TV with only stereo speakers, the<br>
fact that it's been told to forward the digital audio signal on out<br>
through it's optical connection.<br>

</div>Not sure what "digital audio output" means in this context, but as I<br>

</div>TBH, I'm not sure what it reports in terms of the "connection" in the<br>
audio setup. I really ought to look but that box is being retired, or<br>
at least demoted.<br>

<br>
</div>Well, it does seem odd to be able to get 5.1, admittedly encoded in<br>
DD/DTS but having Myth telling me that the audio is only 2.0.<br>
<br>
Not really sure how to rectify that though given the information<br>
available to Myth.<br>
<br>
