    Connect everything up, now go to your Playback Devices by right clicking the speaker on the bottom right. Next right click your HDMI Audio thing and press configure, set it to however many speakers you have and enjoy. Hope I helped.

    Any HDMI cable will support 1080p and 5.1. It has plenty of bandwidth for it. Are you truly sending it out lpcm or are you sending it TrueHD/DTS-HDMA? If your receiver isn't capable of decoding these, it will instead use the DD/DTS core in stereo. This may be what is occurring. Check your output.
