[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1222286, member: 24160"] All Intel Macs will pass thru 5.1 audio via optical from 5.1 sources such as movies via iTunes or watching DVDs via DVD player. There is no Dolby (or other) that will give you a faux 5.1 from 2 channel sources - such as probably all of your music. For that, you need to step up to a set of speakers with optical and Dolby built in. Or, get an external sound card or an audio receiver with these capabilities. [/QUOTE]
