[QUOTE="ThaClown, post: 169979, member: 20860"] His problem is probably the DivX player (there is a reason why they come so cheap :) ) it probably does not use a AC3 audio codec (or something that can decode 5.1 audio. One of the best things about a HTPC is that you can select and tweak yourself the software/codecs/filters to use. It will take some work, but 5.1 from a PC to a AV receiver will work great! I use my standard Motherboard Audio out (I am thinking getting a good of a soundcard... work is never done right? ;) ) and get full 5.1 with all my movies and series. [/QUOTE]
