My PC is connected to a Sherwood AVR via HDMI. Other devices Xbox, Blu-Ray player play audio in 5.1 audio perfectly Through AVR however PC not so much.
Windows 10 only recognises AVR as a 2 channel HDMI connection, here is where it gets very confusing, Netflix App plays 5.1 audio perfectly on titles that are 5.1.
My system
OS Windows 10 Pro
i7 8700K, 16GB RAM, GTX 1080ti, 1TB M.2, 4TB HDD
All drivers Windows and Nvidia are up to date. So I’m very stumped.
Connection combinations
GPU —> HDMI —> AVR —> HDMI —> TV
iGPU —> HDMI —> AVR —> HDMI —> TV
GPU —> HDMI —> TV —> HDMI —> AVR (ARC)
GPU —> HDMI —> TV
PLUS
GPU —> HDMI —> AVR
and then did a variation of these combos.
Currently have
GPU —> HDMI —> AVR
GPU —> HDMI —> TV
GPU —> DP —> Monitor
It didn’t matter what combination I ran with all got the same result except for ARC setup. Netflix App runs true 5.1 and don’t have any other Apps that can run 5.1 audio from Games, iTunes etc as they rely on Windows audio set up. Netflix App seems to override this when I select to have App to control device.
Any help to fix this would be great, still talking with Nvidia to see if they can shed some light on this.
