5.1 sound from macbook not working, help!?!


hey guys!

bought kickass sound system media room @ home. bought pioneer sc-1223 reciver jamo d-500 5.1 thx speaker system. system works great apple tv, xbox , else macbook things tricky. have connected same way, hdmi cable. using macbook mid 2010 media pc.

when play full hd movie vlc sound vaguely plays speakers , plays left speaker. happens playing mp4 och mkv file has 5.1 encoded. when file has 2.1 works fine. when using quicktime, have smilar problem.

question is, how fix sound plays speakers equally , not left? have suggestions? macbook old handle 5.1 sound mabye? or need external soundcard?
 

your computer not old 5.1. mbp 2007 onwards (i'm not sure 2006's) 5.1 through optical port.

using minidisplayport hdmi adapter on machine?

i'd tell go poke around in audio midi setup computer connected receiver. interface pretty straightforward. going there i'd test each speaker individually verify computer able send signal each. if can't, perhaps adapter faulty. check sample rate well, movies encoded @ 48000hz whereas music encoded @ 44100hz.

if works in audio midi setup, i'd go play around settings on playback program of choice.
