| Nov 28, 2021 at 11:45 | comment | added | Tetsujin | i can only see 5.1 as a choice if I connect a specific 5.1 USB device. To stream to my TV I use the facility in VLC over the digital out. [I can use either/or & it works. I choose this method because I pre-process my cinema sound first inside the Mac - & that only works if I treat it as stereo. You won't have that issue.] i.sstatic.net/vri2k.png | |

| Nov 28, 2021 at 11:41 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I don't have the appropriate device connected to show this properly, but check in the drop menu if you can set to encoded output. the Mac itself cannot decode 5.1 so you need to send it still encoded to the Denon - i.sstatic.net/aKrW5.png If you can't set that in AudioMIDI you may still be able to set it in an app such as VLC. | |

| Nov 28, 2021 at 11:29 | comment | added | Darren | That's the problem, the Mac only gives me the option of 2 channels in the Midi setup. (I'll add screenshot above) | |
| Nov 28, 2021 at 11:26 | comment | added | Tetsujin | With everything connected up, check you have 5.1 assigned in AudioMIDI Setup [Apps/Utilities]. If the Mac can see the output as 5.1, you should be able to set it there. | |
