I'm having trouble getting my PC (windows 10) to output in 5.1 using my TVs passthrough.

Current set up:
PC -> TCL TV -> arc to sonos system.

I know the passthrough works on this tv as consoles and shield tv work fine. I also tested this pc on another Sonos setup with a similar tv and there were no issues with getting 5.1 to work.

I've tried adjusting the LPCM to 6 channels, which allows me to select 5.1 from windows settings but the audio is still only working in stereo 2.0. When testing the speakers from windows only FL + FR work and Sonos is only registering a 2.0 signal.

Would greatly appreciate any insight into this problem.

The Sonos might only support 5.1 with bitstreaming formats, so you shouldn't need to set LPCM to 6 channels. Do you see other formats like AC-3/E-AC-3 or DTS-HD?

Yeah, I have all of those options there.

This is what I have:

Also to followup on this I am getting a dolby 2.0 signal, but I am still limited to only 2 channels in windows.

Hi there,
I'm trying to determine the settings to use to enable 2560x1080 on my Alienware AW3423DW. I have been able to use the default settings to add the resolution at the desired refresh, however there is a thin bezel around the display which shows GPU artifacting of stuff rendered at the edge of frame. What settings do I need to change to effectively "overscan" the image?

But when i restart or turn on the pc, it start with hdmi with the same problem. After that, when the screen comes back after disconnecting from inactivity, then yes, turn to dvi.
Also i try by importing hdmi-audio.dat and editing (deleted hdmi block), and when i restart or turn on the pc, it start with hdmi with the same problem. And when it returns from inactivity, the black screen stays endlessly making the noise when you connect or disconnect a device from the pc, and when move the mouse, then turn to dvi.
thank you bro

Why did you delete the HDMI data block? The whole point of the hdmi-audio.dat file is to include HDMI support. Audio can't work without HDMI support. Regardless, both problems sound like Intel driver bugs. The driver is not applying the EDID override when Windows starts. Try the .exe export method in the first post and see if that works around the problem.

hi toastyx, happy new year. It worked exporting and installing the .exe file. Everything works well. When pc starts, and the motherboard logo appears, it blinks for a moment, I guess that's when it changes to dvi. it's okay? thanks for all

Changes don't take effect until Windows starts and the graphics driver loads. If it works then there's no problem.

You can't overscan with a custom resolution. Use GPU scaling if the monitor can't display the resolution correctly.

Show me the whole EDID. Export a file and post it here. What GPU are you using? Have you asked Sonos support?

On 6700XT I was able to force 4.2.0 Chroma to get my 4K TV 60HZ do a 120 HZ with 2.0 HDMI. Not so much with 7900XT. Am I to assume that is a driver issue?

Report EDID overrides not working with the 7900XT to AMD using their bug reporting tool: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/amdbrt

Thanks for all my friend. Just to know, why does this hdmi bad quality problem happen? It happens to me on the 3 TVs that I have, but i connect the pc to a friend's tv and it looked good quality.
thanks

Many reasons, but it's mostly badly-designed TVs.

1. Sharpening - Some TVs sharpen the image by default, which can affect text quality, but this can often be disabled in the TV's settings. PC monitors usually don't sharpen by default.

2. Some TVs will accept 4:4:4 chroma but only display 4:2:2, which can cause colored text to be blurry. Some TVs may also behave differently with RGB vs. YCbCr. PC monitors normally support RGB 4:4:4.

3. When using RGB, the range can be either 0-255 or 16-235. If the PC and the TV aren't set to the same range, the colors can appear overcontrasted or washed out. PC monitors normally use 0-255 for RGB. YCbCr is always 16-235.

4. Overscan can cause unwanted scaling and clip the edges, but you didn't mention this issue.

TVs usually disable this stuff when receiving a DVI signal or when using non-TV resolutions.
