How can I get "real" 5.1 sound when I can only connect stereo sound from tv to hometheatre (1 Viewer)

IF you have RealTek(which is what I have)

The second option(assuming you don't have a USB Bluetooth) is "Digital Output".

When you click that it will show the HDMI and(if it has one) an icon showing L/R digital headphone(which means mini-Toslink).

I only have:
speakers (internal)
headphones
hdmi(disabled until connect to tv)

When you click headphones...

Does it branch off as analog and digital?

If not...no mini-toslink
If yes, it does have mini-toslink.

Click "Properties"

That is where you are given your digital output options. If HDMI is it...HDMI is it.

It only has two channels and I can't change anything for it.

Also, the Aiwa has 6 input jacks (for 5.1 surround). Are you sure I can't have real 5.1 on it?

 

[schan1269]

In that case. You can(helps to mention all available inputs).

But...the "cost" of buying a USB to 6 channel adapter(you could have bought a computer with one already) isn't cheap.

Well, it is, if you buy junk.

Third of the way to the Denon...

And you need three of these...(whichever one you get)

And...your computer has to support 5.1(just because it has HDMI doesn't mean it does...check your specs. There are add-on software you need. Ubuntu and a 5.1 renderer if your current software doesn't have one...and your current software, if one isn't there...has to support one you download)
