Hi im using HDMI out from an Asus M4A785TD-V EVO to an Onkyo TX-SR577 receiver.

I have set bitstreaming to HDMI but I either get no sound or just stereo.

Have I done something wrong?

Works ok with 7mc and ffdshow.

Cheers

Under Video in MC options, did you check bitstreaming?

In DSP Studio, turn off all processing.

[l0ck_st0ck]

Yep bit streaming set to hdmi in video options and all processing turned off in dsp processing.

ive done a bit more tinkering, i changed the audio output format to wasapi and my films seem to passthrough dolby ok now but my mp3 cd rips dont play :-/

Use WASAPI Event Style, not WASAPI, if possible.

See the Audio Setup topic in our wiki.  Start here:

films nor music plays with wasapi event style, the wiki says start with direct sound, that plays my music ok but i only get stereo from films

[JimH]

If you go to Control Panel/Sounds, and check the properties of the device you're using, there are some tests.  Can you get surround sound there?

[l0ck_st0ck]

no just stereo

[JimH]

Then it is probably driver related.  If you don't get surround sound there, you won't get it in any player.

really? so how comes it works with wasapi selected or if i use wmc and ffdshow?

[l0ck_st0ck]

I seem to have fixed this now, went to Control Panel > Sounds > HDMI Output >  Properties > Advanced, and ticked both exclusive mode boxes.

Now using Direct Sound I can play my music in all channel stereo and my films in dolby.
