Have tested an ac3 movie using firecore's 'media player' with the same outcome, sony amp shows up dd5.1 but no sound, must be an atv2 hardware issue and so is not an XBMC issue as such. Again dts played fine.
As for a work around, is a there a linux type prog like the one pc's use to output via optical on some motherboards etc?
Newer sony amps have more setting to do with optical inputs so dont have this issue.
I fully understand we are in the minority here with the older sony amps and that a fix is not really expected still i live in hope
All we can really do for now is try and find the DTS versions of some of the movies i guess.
