I have an Apple tv 3 connected via hdmi, and I can't get my 5.1 to work. I have a digital cable that goes to the tv, anything connected via hdmi works immediately with 5.1 (If it's compatible). So am I missing something here? Setting, etc?
Got a tip for us?

there is a setting in settings -> audio (not at mine right now so i can't say the exact wording)
if you're going
appleTV --HDMI--> Television --HDMI/toslink--> receiver
a lot of times TVs don't pass 5.1
what are you using to test 5.1?(netflix, itunes video, etc)
how are you verifying that it's not 5.1?
