I have an Intel NUC6i3SYH and a Samsung KS8000 TV. I'm trying to connect the NUC via HDMI to the TV and then TV to receiver using ARC to pass sound to my receiver. However, in my TV options it doesn't allow me to bitstream to the receiver using any of the true 5.1 options (DTS/DD). It only let's me pass DTS6:NEO. When I look at configuring the Windows sound, it only recognizes it as stereo instead of 5.1/7.1, etc.
I don't have this issue with the XBoxOne or CableBox connected via ARC.
Also, connecting the NUC directly to the receiver works fine.
Any suggestions on how to set this up properly?

The ARC HDMI (say it is HDMI 1) port from the TV should be connected to the reciever output. The NCU should be connected to HDMI 2 on the TV which should then pass audio to the receiver over ARC. On my LG I have to go in sound settings and set audio output from PCM to auto.

Why not go the normal route. NUC-->AVR-->TV

Another point: some tvs will only pass ac3, but not dts. Perhaps your other devices are sending ac3, and you are using dts? Just a guess there.
