So I got around to trying to force Dolby Digital. Things worked pretty 
well with that with a few exceptions. My amp supports all formats up to 
DTS-HD and when I tried to play a movie with that, it disabled the audio 
due to a reconfigure error, or something like that. When I unchecked 
support for DTS-HD in audio setup, then I only got stereo sound.
