So my trusty Ligitech z560's bought the dust, and I got a real receiver (Pioneer VSX-815) and speakers. My motherboard is an A8R32-MVP deluxe with Realtek HD audio, and I've used an optical cable to connect it to the receiver. I can get stereo sound, but no center or surround channels come through. I have verified I am set to 6-channel (5.1) in both the Realtek audio control panel as well as Windows. The receiver does not indicate it is receiving a surround signal, though. I know the receiver is configured correctly (at least for other inputs) because other sources work fine. Is there a setting I need to change somewhere, on the receiver or on the PC? Back in the day I had an nForce2 PC hooked up to a Kenwood receiver and that worked fine for 5.1, so I (thought) I had some concept of what is going on. I have tried games, and DVDs with both Dobly Digital and DTS (the receiver is capable of both). It seems like the PC isn't outputting what I want it to.
