toleda Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Encoded digital audio is 6 channels encoded to 2 channels, DD or DTS. What 5.1 source and what player? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298705-51-from-optical-on-gigabyte-z77x-up5-th-realtek-898/#findComment-2028223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

toleda Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I use soundflower and configure the speakers on audio midi setup. Soundflower and Audio MIDI Setup are for analog speakers only. With optical 5.1, encoded digital audio is used and the speakers are connected to the receiver. Second request, what 5.1 source and what player? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298705-51-from-optical-on-gigabyte-z77x-up5-th-realtek-898/#findComment-2030640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
