So I have a VSX 1123k setup with 2 front speakers, a sub, and 2 speakers plugged into Surround L/R, and my computer goes into the receiver via HDMI. That HDMI audio output has been configured in Windows7 to 2 diff 5.1 settings, and a 7.1 setting, but I still always only get audio out of the 2 front+sub only i 99% of the audio settings. I can get all of the speakers to work when I do ext. stereo. However, when I choose ext. stereo the 2front+sub audio quality drops significantly than when sound is coming from them via the Pure Direct setting on the receiver. Almost significantly enough that I'd rather run 2 speakers in Direct than all 4 in ext. stereo.
Is there something I can do to get the audio to play on all the speakers in Pure Direct? I honestly don't care about the "surround" since I'm mainly using it for music.
