[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1420119, member: 89124"] I'll have to re-hook it up again - unfortunately, my wife is watching TV so if I interrupt her, I might not be able to help again.... ever :) I do remember when I first connected it to my receiver (an Onkyo) it showed 5.1, I'm pretty sure it showed Dolby Digital on it as well. After I played a song it no longer showed that and only showed stereo sound. Sometimes it would then cycle the receiver back to 5.1 and sometimes it would stay on stereo until I actually played a 5.1 movie in iTunes (this could have been an issue with my receiver, I'm not sure) Once I get a chance to try more again later I'll let you know what I find. Just out of curiosity, I know you have other HDMI devices (like the PS3) - have you tried connecting the PS3 to the HDMI port that you connect your Mac to and see what it states - if it sets it to 5.1 / DD? One other question - have you tried rebooting your Mac? (just wondering if it's possible the driver is "stuck" in stereo output) And do you have anything plugged into the headset port or no?
