Good catch Very strange it should need 8 channels for passthrough to work. If I select 5.1 over HDMI in XBMC surely it should negotiate a sink for 6 RAW channels and not blindly for 8? I'm very very excited to see if the EDID override works, shame I'm still at work until 16:30. I'm counting the hours!
