I have a laptop with windows 8.1 and running xbmc. This is connected with a hdmi to a AV receiver (5.1 speakers). Then the receiver connected to the TV with hdmi.

My problem is that the computer onlygive the options of using the computers speakers or the tvs speakers, 2.0 speakers or stereo.

How do i make it output 5.1 sound?
