Hi, I have a LG BH7420P 3D blueray home theatre system, and I am getting really disappointed as I can't get 5.1 from my PC when playing games. I have a PC with a ATI HD5770 and I have a HDMI 1.4 cable running to the receivers input 1 on the BH7420P and then obviously a HDMI 1.4 cable to my LG LM640T-3d-tv. I have AMD HDMI Audio output selected in my device list, my only options for speaker setup is Stereo, there is no quadraphonic or 5.1 Surround, when I look on properties it only shows max numbers of channels - 2, the bit rate are 32 / 44.1 / 48 Khz, the encoded formats supported are only dolby digital.
Movies already encoded as AC3/DTS are played fine in 5.1 when using VLC. Although AAC 5.1 content plays as 2.0PCM unless I use the TVs SMART function then it goes to 5.1.
But my point is I can only seem to get 2.0PCM for all PC games that I own. Iv'e tried battlefield series, COD, MOH, Need for speeds, Dirt series, GRID, Fifa etc and all with the same result. Is this something to do with my receiver not supporting dolby digital live? Iv'e obviously changed audio settings in each game to 5.1 etc.
Why you may ask am I bothering? well sometimes it's good to just sit in the living room playing a console type game like your fifas, racing games etc than sat bored and uncomfortable in a lonely area where your PC is haha.
The blueray system can decode:
LPCM
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby TrueHD
DTS
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio
MPEG 1/2 L2
MP3
MP3 ID3 Tag
