    :( but thanks anyway. Is Win XP still an option for now and the foreseeable future because i think it doesn't have the mentioned pin-problem.

    Depending on your setup you could just use six analogue connections to your amp.
    I have no issues with HDMI on Windows 8 but I know the issue you mention is no different in Win8 as it is in Win7.

    XP is going out of support very soon and it will cease to be a supported OS for MP at some point soon too so I would not go back to XP.

    Have you actually tried the HDMI route?

    I had a fair few problems with XP a few years ago (Which I think was a combination of the Xonar HDAV soundcard and Onkyo receiver) . I ended up buying a HDMI Detective which is certainly not cheap but I have never had any HDMI issues since :)

    There are lots of tweaks out there now and there is a build which is trying to resolve some of the specific HDMI issues in MP. (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/call-for-tester-for-1-4-0-features-and-fixes.114566/)

    129$ is really a bit above my price range... and sadly (a bit dramatic) none of the tweaks worked for me. The test build did nothing for me either. I guess i just have to wait.

    I am rethinking the Hdmi option, but I don't get more than stereo on my receiver. Do I have to check or uncheck any options in lav or mp options like upmix to 5.1 or convert to channel layouts?
