The problem is that my Mut@nt HD51 STB although it records an AAC 5.1 track audio stream, it will only play it as stereo. I have also connected the Mut@ant with HDMI cable directly to the HTS and it still only plays stereo.

I am using the native OpenVIX player (whatever this is) and have not installed the gstreamer external player. Is there some setting I can change to make it play in 5.1 surround sound?
See post #11 ... my HD51 plays 5,1 fine thru my Onkyo receivers
