    Does anyone know how to get 5.1 Audio through HDMI output available on F13 models ?

    I use HDMI Output to watch movies on my Sony 46" HDTV, which in turn is connected to a 5.1 Home Theater System .. But when I connect my laptop to my HDTV via a HDMI cable, I only get 2 audio channels, not 5.1 ..

    As far as I know, I'm also using NVidia Audio Drivers ..
