[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 227452, member: 65661"] This is also a concern I have, I'm just assembling my media center (not all the parts have arrived yet) but need to integrate it with my current 5.1 audio system. For the past year or so, I've been playing my music collection via an external Soundblaster Live 24 thru the coaxial S/PDIF out. The issue is that my older JVC receiver identifies the surround output from my DVD/VHS machine just fine (via optical S/PDIF), and correctly identifies my music output as linear PCM in the digital input. I get 2.0 output (no subwoofer) unless I switch off surround (giving 2.1 correctly) or switch to All-Channel Stereo (giving me 5.1 stereo)... but I don't want to keep switching my system every time I change from TV to Audio to Movies... it kind of defeats the purpose of integrating everything into one package setup. Upmixing the 2.0 stream (audio and TV) to 5.1, or at least 2.1, is paramount to my needs. Chuck :D [/QUOTE]
