Acer Aspire Switch 10 5.1 Audio output

hobgoblin

Hello, I would like to ask about audio output on my Acer Aspire Switch 10. I would like to show movies with 5.1 and DTS sound on my TV. I tried to connect tablet to AV receiver Onkyo TX-SR606 connected to 5.0 spekares through HDMI and played some movies with 5.1 sound. But my receiver detects only PCM stereo signal from tablet and it is not possible to play surround sound. I also tried to test the audio output of tablet and chose 5.1 in audio setting and test tone came only from L and R front speakers. Does anyone knows if is possible to send the non-converted signal (passthrough) from tablet to AV recciver? I think that tablet converts audio signal from 5.1 to 2.1.  Thank you for your answer.

No replies? Nobody knows if Acer Aspire Switch 10 supports HDMI pass-through? Can someone who has this Acer and some AV receiver confirms if is possible to play DD or DTS sound (on AV reciver screen appears DTS icon during movie - not just PCM or PCM multi channel). I've tried to update graphics driver and it seemed that dts sound worked. But there was a problem with tablet's sound afater disconnetion from AVR  - no sound came from tablet then (audio driver was somehow corrupted). Maybe someone will try to do this on Acer Aspire Swicth 10 and it will work. Please, write then some info. Thanks
