My AMD HDMI is only showing 6 channels (I think that's okay though because that's all my receiver/blu-ray player supports) and support for DTS and DD only; no AAC, AC3, DTSHD or truHD. Help, please?
I'm using a Saphire Radeon HD-6570 outputting over HDMI 1.4a to an LG HB906TA 5.1 receiver/blu-ray combo that outputs to my LG 55LW5000 over HDMI 1.4a again.
The receiver supports DTSHD and truHD as well as the lossy surround sound codecs.
Any advice is appreciated, I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.
In fact, I had the same isse in the past. Seems a quite common problem with ATI video cards. Problem lies with the EDID information given by your receiver and read by the ATI card. Some receiver "route" the EDID information from the display to the graphics card. As your display can of course not HD audio, ATI rejects passthrough of HD audio. Can be solved by building a new driver (comprising the receiver hd audio and TV video capabilities, sounds complicated, but is easy and can be done in 3 minutes) and replacing the "PNP monitor"-driver. I currently away from home, but I am sure to have some links where the proceeding is explained more detailed...
