We need as in poor audio, which is true. All those DP or HDMI will do is 16bit / 48Khz ~ LOL

Not sure where you are getting your information. A quick internet search and you will see that HDMI and DisplayPort are more than capable of 32 bit and 192khz.

Optical cannot send more than 2 channels uncompressed. For stereo, optical is fine, but when it comes to surround (multi-channel), it just cannot perform without compression.

The only way to get features, such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD, is with HDMI. Anyone with a decent surround setup will use HDMI over optical.

Simple fact, HDMI and DisplayPort can passthrough higher resolution audio.
TOSLINK Optical only send 2 channels of analog. It is caable of sending coded signals like DTS and Dolby Digtal Live in a 5.1 or 7.1 suuround sound configuration to a stereo reciever. I happen to have a Creative Sound Blaster Omni that delivers 5.1 surround just fine through the TOSLink.

NOT IN WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No need to yell, geez.

I've not found anything online that says that it isn't possible. And my Atmos reciever is able to get all the channels from my PC just fine.

Yeah, that "coded signal" is a compressed audio stream.

The OP is looking for a way to get 7.1 surround sound out of his PC through their STEREO RECIEVER...so we really do not have a choice except for using TOSLink, DP/HDMI (which is out of the question)...or SP/DIF Coaxial RCA Digital to throughput the PCM signal to the stereo receiver...
This means that an audio card with Either TOSLink or SP/DiF are it.

The OP stated they had an HDMI reciever. I'm not crazy, I seen it with my own two eyes.

Yes just connect GPU to Display via DP
Then connect the Audio from GPU to Receiver via HDMI

It can only be played through one at a time (whichever video card port capable of audio throughput is being used).

Still doesn't work.....I have tried this...it resulted in me getting an audio card in stead. Even if the OP does manage to get sound out of it, they still will opnly be getting 2 channel stereo for a 7.1 surround soiund system. This is not rocket science....

you can only put audio through one device which is fine as it needs to put the audio to the AV reciever while the picure goes to the monitor...

You can hookup all your DP and HDMI at the same time and dictate which does what.
Again very simple. One or two clicks to control all of that.

You hook them up. You click Windows Mixer, done.
Or you can change via NVIDIA Control Panel.
Why is this so hard? It's always been this way.

So you use windows mixer in stead of NVIDIA control pannel to determine that? You get the same options either way...so no dice. Have you done this sort of thing before?


I know you can throughput audio through the video card...but it is pointless because very few games will support the digital encoding and opt for the 2 channel stereo in stead. The only way to bypss this is setting the reciver to Dolby Prologic or NeoDTS.6...where it SIMULATES surround sound by trying to put midtones through the front center speaker and other sounds through the front and rear satalite speakers.

If you go the audiio card route, you have the option of playing the speaker output through the Toslink or whatever other digital means the card provides.

Atmos reciever connected via HDMI. It gets well more than 2 channels, uncompressed. Able to play video on the monitor and audio through my surround setup. Can easily change audio output whenever I want, either back to the monitor or to my external DAC/AMP and headphones.

I don't understand your troubles, Spoopy... are you trying to use more than one audio output at the same time... or?
