First let me say that my system was working well and all of a sudden it stopped, i'm trying to find out why.
I've connected my laptop to a plasma tv, which is connected to a DVD player with surround sound(all 6 speakers were working before, now just 3-the sub woofer and the main left and right speakers).
The TV and laptop are connected with an hdmi cable. My laptops is a Dell 5110 with an Nvidia 525M. The video card does recognise the TV as an audio source. The Nvidia control panel directed me to the windows sound options, here are some screenshots when i try to configure it

The DVD and TV are connected via a Stereo Cable to Dual RCA Cinch. The stereo jack is inserted in the headphones port of the TV and the cinch is in their corresponding ports in the DVD. I've set the DVD to AUX.
I read a few threads and found people with similar problems - people suggested checking the settings on all devices and make sure surround is enabled. I'm running windows 7 and it it's settings it indicates just a stereo output (i don't know why). The TV and DVD have no settings about that.
I haven't made any major changes to my system so i am baffled what went wrong and everything stopped working.
I made sure that during my tests i used audio that was definetly 5.1 (i played a bluray film).
I also connected the dvdi directly to the laptop and still no surround - the problem must be in the laptop.
