I'm really confused here, because I can't get surround to sound right
My blu ray player is the Samsung BD-P1600, which supports HDMI and Optical out, and internal decoding of lossless formats. In the options, I can set it for "PCM", "Bitstream(Reencode)", or "Bitstream(Audiophile)". None seem to do anything.
I have no idea what my receiver does, and it has no HDMI input, only optical. It's also a basic Samsung model. I can't find the model number so I have no idea what it is.
I have the BD player HDMI going to the TV, and optical to the receiver, with a basic 5.1 setup. I have some other devices: a 360, Wii U, and cable box (all of them are setup with HDMI to TV, and Optical from the TV to the Receiver).
I have various Blu Rays that use either Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD, but when I play them in surround, it doesn't sound right at all. It sounds like each speaker is merely playing the same audio as each other, rather than having actual surround effects, and it sounds better in Stereo.
I don't care about getting lossless audio, I just want my surround to sound right, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
