I have a Logitech Z-5500 which supports Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and a DSE FreeView|HD box that has digital coax sound output, according to the manual.
As my optical input is taken up by the PlayStation 3, I went and got a digital coax cable from DSE over the weekend, and while it works, it only outputs Stereo sound. I tried this last night, with TV3 The Simpsons which according to TV3 is in HD and has 5.1 Surround, but the Z-5500 reported Stereo output.
Am I missing something (i.e. an incorrect setting?) or does the Freeview box not actually output 5.1 surround through the coax? I did read through all the manuals before purchasing, which all said that 5.1 surround was indeed possible over coax.
Thanks in advanced.
