So I have a home theater setup basically I am trying to pass 5.1 surround sound from my pc to my receiver.
My setup is:
[PC]===HDMI=== [TV] ===OPTICAL===[RECEIVER] === [Speakers]
PC info:
Asus n550jv
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel Core i7-4700HQ
8GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4600
NVIDIA GeForce 750M
TV info: Vizio E420i-b0 Smart TV
Receiver info: Sony STR-K750P
The problem I am having is my PC will only recognize the HDMI connection with stereo sound.[pic]
My first thought was that the tv could only accept signal in 2 channels.
I did some research on my specific model and discovered that it DOES indeed support full surround HDMI pass-through. I confirmed this by talking to a vizio customer support rep who tried to help me with my problem. She said that it was a problem with my display driver(Intel Display Audio), leading me here.
How do I get my pc to recognize my sound system?
