Hi Guys.
I was lucky enough to buy myself a Denon AVRX3500H and a Q Acoustics 7000i 5.1 Slim packages and set up it all up over the weekend. The Audyssey Setup went smoothly with no issues.
I have my PC/HTPC plugged into HDMI 1 of the Denon amp and the TV, an LG OLED65E6V, Plugged into HDMI Out (Monitor 1 ARC). So everything is bypassing through the amp. My Xbox and PS4 are hooked up to HDMI 2 and 3 respectively and they show up as the full 5.1 with no issues.
But when I switch to HDMI 1 it shows up as Stereo on the amp. On the PC itself, it shows Denon as the sound source when you click on the speaker icon. I had to change the output to 5.1 but that made no difference. When I go into the speaker setup i can choose 5.1 surround but when I click the test button all the speakers animate but i only hear sounds from the L and R.
I run through it but when I run it again it stays on 5.1 surround but I can only hear stereo, the amp never changes on the display from Stereo.
The PC is a Dell Alienware Alpha D07U like this one
Dell Alienware Alpha Gaming PC D07U, 500GB HD, Intel Core i3 2.9GHz, 4GB RAM 884116162131 | eBay
It has an HDMI and Optical Out. The GPU is an Nvidia GeForce 860M and the sound chip is a Realtek.
I'm really new to all of this and i would appreciate some help!
Thanks!
