Hi, guys!

This is my first post, I would like to apologize for my bad english.

Today I received my new Mini DP to HDMI adapter and, after a little configuration, I was able to make it work properly with my mac.
But, after all my work, I noticed that the audio transfered was only stereo, not 5.1 as my home theater can handle.

So I searched some forums for a bit and noticed that I could try to change my configurations in "audio and midi configurations" (this is a portuguese translation, I'm not sure how is the program's name in english). Once there, I saw a lot of choices for audio via hdmi, like stereo, 5.1, 6.1 etc, but only the first was availabe, all mutichannels were disabled.

Is there any way to make these choices available?
Can this be a limitation of my Mini DP to HDMI adapter?
I bought it on this link, for reference:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.27549
It says that it does transfers "uncompressed audio such as LPCM" and
"compressed audio such as DTS Digital, Dolby Digital(including DTS-HD and Dolby True HD)".

Thanks in advance!
Cheers from Brazil :)
