Can't output 5.1 from Windows 11 to LG TV SSCR2 output.
Hey all. Some of you may be familiar with this issue, but my setup is a little different than other threads I've found.
I have my Windows 11 PC connected to my LG B4 TV via fiber optic HDMI. Using an optical cable, I have the TV connected to an Onkyo TX-SR393. The receiver is properly set up to output to all 5.1 channels.
Windows 11 only gives options to output:
- Stereo
- Dolby Atmos for Home Theater
- DTS:X for home theater
When I try to configure the speaker settings for Dolby Atmos in Windows, it fails to save the setting and reverts every time.
I do not want to use eARC, because the receiver is limited to 4k @ 60Hz, whereas I can output 4k @ 120Hz direct to the LG B4.
Selecting "Dolby Surround" on the receiver indicates that all 5.1ch are active, but I still only get 2.0 output from surround test audio.
Selecting "Direct" on the receiving indicates that only 2.0ch are active, even with "Dolby Atmos for Home Theater" selected in Windows 11.
I don't care to use Atmos, but I can't find another way to output 5.1ch from Windows.
Full build info can be found here.
Any ideas?
