I cannot get full surround sound audio with live or recorded TV in 7 MC. Sound is only heard over the front speakers. I have a 5.1 setup connected via HDMI (Radeon 4650-->Yamaha 5.1 HDMI receiver-->Panasonic Plasma). When I play the same file in Media Player I do get the full surround effect. I also receive full surround with WMVHD in Media Center so the problem is with how Media Center is handling AC3 audio. When I go to speaker setup in Media Center and select 5.1 all five chimes are heard but only over the front speakers, usually 2 in one front speaker and 3 in the other. The Windows audio setup works perfectly and I hear tones in all speakers so it is only a problem with Media Center. Any ideas? Is there anyway to troubleshoot these problems outside of the MC interface? Would it help to do the Media Center setup again?

Solved. Disable auto volume in 7MC and install the newest Realtek HDMI driver from the Realtek website and everything works perfect. |
