Hey all I've been trying to find a solid answer to this, but I'm not having much luck. If it's obvious and I just missed it, I apologize in advance. Here's my setup:
AMD R9 380 GPU
Vizio M65 C-1 4K TV
Sony Bluray AV system (sorry don't know exact model #)
Basically I'm running an HDMI from PC to AV for surround sound and HDMI from AV to TV for picture. Sounds great but caps me at 1080 since the AV system is a few years old. This is the only way I can get 6 channel 5.1 audio though. The GPU and TV are both capable of 2160 at 60Hz if I run HDMI straight from the PC to the TV. I just need an HDMI 2.0 cable for this which I will be buying shortly. I know my GPU is not strong enough to run most games at this setting, but I'd still like to have the option. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the surround sound working if I then run HDMI from the TV to the AV though. Stereo works as I can get audio from the front speakers, but my rears are left out. It doesn't even give me the option for 5.1 when I try to configure the playback device and it's limited to 2 channels under the properties. Any audiophiles out there who can help this newbie? Thanks in advance!
