[QUOTE="sneeks, post: 275840, member: 21924"] I discovered the answer on the Mac discussion area. Working perfectly now. In the DVD player preferences there is an option that is available ONLY when a Toslink cable is connected to the iMac. Under Disc Setup there is a box for Audio Output that defaults to System Sound Output. When the digital audio cable is connected there will be a second (hidden) option that can be detected if you click on the arrows next to System Sound Output that lets you choose to pass through the actual Surround Sound information from the DVD. So the required sound preference is not in the OS X System Preference->Sound panel at all. And clicking on the preference on an actual DVD movie (as you would with a standalone DVD player) also does not turn on the surround sound. [/QUOTE]
