[QUOTE="vinyl conflict, post: 1421951, member: 146148"] Wondering if anyone can help with a problem that i have. I have my iMac connected to my Audio/Visual receiver via hdmi (mini display port adapter) I can get all 5.1 channels when watching films and even get DTS and Dolby surround sound via bitstream. the problem i have is when playing a film in stereo or a song via iTunes the amp is still receiving a 6 channel signal i.e. front left and front right. The iMac doesn't seem to switch modes and send a stereo signal. as a result i am unable to apply any "surround modes" when watching a film that only has stereo audio track or use 5 channel stereo mode when listening to music. I can can get the iMac to send a stereo signal using the "audio MIDI setup" program in the utilities folder and choosing 2 channel there and thus can use my surround sound modes - but then my problem is reversed i.e. all films with multi channel audio are received as stereo. Every other device/appliance i have will auto change the output depending on what source is being played, PS3/Xbox etc Any help greatly appreciated [/QUOTE]
