Not getting Dolby 5.1 Surround

I've searched this site and I can't find a solution to my problem. I have a Pioneer Receiver and I can't get Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound using Apple TV. I have a HDMI cable from ATV to the Receiver. I read here that some were able to get 'Surround' to work by using an optical Digital Audio Cable with the HDMI cable. I tried that and it didn't work either(at least on any of the HD trailers I tested). Anybody got any ideas?

I just started up ATV and restarted it. When it started up there was an HD 'short' that did light up the Dolby on on my receiver. Actually, this morning I did a software update and when it restarted I got that same 'short' and I'm almost positive that it was 5.1 Surround Sound. I checked it with the HD Trailers, but apparently they're not 'Surround'. I'm just going to watch 'Fantastic Four', I would think it has to work if 'FF' is Dolby Surround.

From what I've seen, the most of the problems with the cards are with the 64-bit drivers. My Audigy 4 also works with the XP drivers of the CD and Vista B2 drivers as much as they should. Many people don't realize that it is a beta driver, on a new OS (which is now in final development) so some things will and will not work. Also many people don't read readmes and such and still complain on things that where stated. Such as the Vista B2 drivers for the Audigy series
Known issues:
* Waking your computer from sleep or hibernate mode stops audio output. To resolve this, restart your computer.
* In this download, the Effects Amount slider in EAX is disabled.
* To configure your speakers, use Audio Console only. Configuring your speakers in "Audio Devices and Sound Themes" in Control Panel may result in loss of audio during playback in Windows Media? Player. To resolve this issue, close and reopen Windows Media Player again.
* This download does not support
o Dolby? Digital or DTS? decoding
o CMSS?-3D
o recording
o 6. speaker systems
All thats stated is pretty much what people are complaining. Though its stated what won't work, they may work due to its a general driver and not a specific driver. So some may have somethings working on one card, and not on the other.

After connecting my Apple TV this morning, I have no sound. It is hooked up to play through my television speakers. Any ideas on how to get sound? Also, I tried hooking it up through my surround receiver, but could not get it to come up on my ty screen.

Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
Also make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

No Dolby 5.1 surround sound on BT Vision Films/Box...

I've had a BT YouView box since the launch in October last year and was disappointed at the time that dolby had yet to be enabled and had to wait a couple of months for this to happen, however ,I have been enjoying BT's selection of HD films with full 5.1 dolby surround sound, but have noticed that Dolby has now been removed!?
So BT now expect you pay full whack to watch an HD film with no surround to go with it? I am a bit of an audiophile so do appreciate quality sound when watching movies. I am now forced to rent BluRay movies so that I can get proper surround sound. BT have confirmed that they are aware that Dolby is no longer provided and other than telling me their software technicians are working on it, they have been unable to confirm when this will be rectified.
I feel a bit ripped off having signed up to YouView with a view to enjoying Dolby 5.1 and once again I'm having to pay for something I am not getting. Does anyone know what is happening?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, I have noticed that 5.1 has vanished ..... one (but only one) of the reasons I switched from the new BTvision box & software to Youview was to get 5.1 back.
I hope BT are going to tell us in a crystal clear fashion (very soon maybe) that it is back !!!
They will (well I guess may) notice I have stopped watching films via youview since 5.1 vanished, and don't intend to waste any more time looking to see if it's back myself.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!

HD TV Show... can't get Dolby Digital 5.1 to Work

I just bought an episode of Chuck (from NBC). In the description of the show it says that it has Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. I have my macbook-pro hooked up to my surround sound system using a mini-toslink -> optical connector. When playing the episode the Stereo track plays just fine... but if I switch to Surround.... I get no sound.
Any ideas?

I bought LOST season 5 season pass.
I only found out about this 'non-feature' after trying for ages to get it to work and searching for a solution.
When I first complained I got told by support that it was probably a hardware issue and to call the support line. I did, got the same answer, and was then asked to part with more money for continued support, which I declined. I asked point blank whether DD5.1 really only plays back on Apple TV - which was denied.
After continuing to pursue it I finally got an email from 'tier 2' support admitting that 5.1 does only plays back on an Apple TV: here's the text:
+This is+ name removed +from iTunes Store Customer Support and your request+
+has been escalated to me today. I understand that you have been+
+unable to use Dolby surround sound on your computer for your iTunes+
+Store purchases.+
+Dolby 5.1 surround sound is currently only available for the Apple+
+TV. Apple recognizes that no one is better qualified to provide+
+feedback about the content provided on the iTunes Store than the+
+people who use it.+
I got back to them to say I'd like a (small!) partial refund - to cover the costs of my phone bills and disappointment. They've gone silent.
I've now reported it to Trading Standards in the UK as it is misselling. Curiously - since i complained the 'About HD' section - where it used to say +on your Apple TV or Computer+ has been changed.

Sorry about that. I am not exactly sure where the problem is, but I know it takes place after I put the <nav> in (in the html portion). If I understand what I am learning, the CSS at the top will structure my html code so I would have thought the CSS tageting my nav would be the focus. Maybe it is a different section though.

IFS agent does not get notified?

2. The agent is not gettting notified when
a VersionDescription creation is surrounded
by beginTransaction and completeTransaction.
The agent is getting notified for VersionDescriptions created otherwise (i.e.,
without beginTransaction, completeTransaction). I am using ifs1.1.6. Any help will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,

Can't get Dolby and DTS options to work

Hi!
Could anyone help me with my new Sound Blaster Z soundcard. I can't get Dolby and DTS options to work with my optical cabel under Cinematic tab in Pro Studio. I've googled enough, tried basically everything. Cinematic tab was never greyed out from the beginning. It either gave me intense, very high pitch noice when you acticated Dolby or DTS options or now... giving error which states:
"The SPDIF-out (Sound Blaster Z) device is currently being used by another application. Please close any application that may be playing audio to this device and try again."
I've re-installed drivers numerous times, tried different Windows operating system (7 and 8.1). Speakers (Sound Blaster Z) is made as default device, other stuff is disabled. I seriously don't know what to do, I'm god **** frustrated, because apart from Cinematic tab not working the sound isn't that great compared to my integrated motherboard soundchip.
// If it matters my speakers are Edifier S530D

Hi Kimbie,
Are you able to play back mp3 audio tracks?
I'm suspecting you are trying to play back encoded content.
Do share more details here so that I can assist you further.

Endeca 7.5.1.1 is not getting properly installed

Hi,
can anyone please help in this regard. I am trying to setup Endeca 7.5.1.1 on win7 enterprise 64 bit. I have executed the Endeca Server installer which created a folder named 'EndecaServer7.5.1_1' in Middleware folder(C:\Oracle\Middleware) .While creating a new domain in weblogic for Endeca Server, I'm not getting any options for selecting 'Oracle Endeca server' however getting option to select 'Oracle JRF'.
I can see under C:\Oracle\Middleware\EndecaServer7.5.1_1 common/templates folder is not generated which is perhaps must. However the whole installation goes smooth and no error occurs but at time of domain creation Endecca doesn't come up as an option. Please some one help in this regard.

I've tryied it before, but don't understand plug and other things how it's working and didn't get sound output at all
EDIT: As I know, speaker test is working with 5.1, because it's said by command. But applications use only 1 output. I mean card ca0106 and device 0 (default) is front speakers and other output 3.5mm jacks are likely "disabled".
So I'm asking, is it possible to set default device with multiple output 3.5mm jacks?
pcm.!default {
type hw
card CA0106
device 2
ctl.!default {
type hw
card CA0106
This uses my my center and subwoofer. Without mentioning device it's default is front left and right. And I thought, that just stereo works. But works just one output. And as I said, speaker test works fine as 5.1, but that's just a test, where are outputs defined in /usr/share/alsa/pcm or /cards... There is ca0106.
I'm tired of this, so is it possible to use all jacks? Whole card? In /usr/share/alsa/cards and in ca0106.conf I've seen IEC958 defined at the bottom of the file. But cards doesn't have any IEC958 on it.
I want all 3.5mm outputs and not only one defined. And true surround, not copied from one output to others. Can you help me please?
EDIT: For example this is not working via Firefox or MPD: http://www.mysurround.com/en/info-test OGG file Hear left speaker and when he says center, it comes from right speaker.

Cannot get sound through my surround sound tv - only pictures - sound works fine through tv speakers - why is this?

Apple TV is working for pictures and sound via my television speakers but I cannot get sound via my surround sound speakers with HDMI or an Optical Lead.
Anyone care to advise me what I may have done wrong in the connections?

If you have connected your TV by HDMI via your receiver and you get sound from your TV but not your receiver then the problem must lie within your receiver or its settings. Check the manual to ensure you have selected the correct settings for it.

How to get Dolby Digital from ATV2 and iTunes Movies??

I have an ATV2 hooked up to my Denon 789 AVR via optical cable, and the HDMI hooked directy to my HTDV. My Denon is receiving the signal apparently as a PCM and thus, only receiving 2 channel. When I stream an iTunes movie from my ATV2, I only get Dolby Pro Logic II, and not Dolby Digital. When I go into the ATV2 settings and under Audio and Video set Dolby Digital from "Auto" to "On", I don't get any sound on my Denon 1910. Any idea what's going on?

Mac Mini, HDMI, VLC, not outputting Dolby 5.1

The Mac Mini 2010 has a HDMI port but it appears that it will not pass through Dolby encoded sound.
The solution is to connect your hdmi to a minidisplay port to hdmi adapter.
Then go to utilities/audio mini set up/ and select HDMI and 48000 and 2ch -24bit
Then VLC will export sound to your home theater amplifier in Dolby 5.1 surround.
Othe Mac models may have an HDMI port as well that does not support Dolby 5.1.

FWIW, I have a 2010 Mini and am going direct HDMI-HDMI
to my Yamaha receiver and have no issues with passing
Dolby5.1 or DTS to it, with MIDI settings at 2ch 24bit/48kHz.
It has been set like this since I bought it new. Dolby and DTS
have passed through problem free with iTunes, XBMC,
and originally with PLEX (decided early on the XBMC was the
best choice).
This was also though the likes of Snow Leopard, Lion, and
Mountain Lion.

Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project. Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie. Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
1) Select the project in the Project Library.
2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
5) Then Share.
You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.
