Has anybody out there managed to get 5.1 surround out of the SPDIF on the AN-M2 board?
I am trying to build a HTPC here and I can only get stereo down the optical into my Yamaha receiver. When I use the Realtek speaker test page with 6 channel selected, I only get sound from the fronts. When playing DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder, Media player shows the Dolby Digital symbol but nothing other than stereo comes out the back
Getting really frustrated here as I only went for this board because of the optical out and the bad reports I was reading on the net of the Abit Fatality mATX offering, otherwise I'd have gone C2D instead of AM2
