Did you try activating Dolby Digital under Tools/Options/Audio/DSP Studio Output Encoding?

I tried the default first and then all.  I'm starting to think the Digi+ doesn't put out 5.1.

Just tested that here with our Hifiberry Digi+ and dolby digital out using the iec958 device with a optical cable to a dolby digital capable amp and it worked fine.

Which device are you using and can you send me a screenshot of the DSP settings?

Thanks. I got it to work by changing the mixing parameter to "no mixing".

I'm not sure why that would make any sense.
If you are playing anything other than 5 channel I'd think the mixing would need to be on.
With 5 channel it seems like it shouldn't make a difference if the mixing is set to 5.1
