EDIT:

 

The problem was the eDID block now i have a eDID emulator in a hdmi 4k switch and it works sort of fine with movies it works but games still stays on PCM anyone have a solution for that?

 

 

(ORIGINAL POST) 

Hello i am not realy into audio stuff and i cant realy find something about it on the internet 

 

I have a "problem" with my audio i have a recever with dolby 5.1 ect suport but it only puts out PCM (it works with my ps3) 

 

But when i use my laptop (hdmi to the tv and then optical to the recever) it wil only use PCM and i cant find any audio settings on my laptop to change it (windows) does someone know how i can set my laptop to put out compressed audio over hdmi (or set it so it only puts out dolby digital 5.1) or have any idea what is going on. 

 

My media player on my laptop is set to pass through compressed audio but that changes nothing and my tv has no audio settings with optical out 

 

What i did notice is that its using intel audio over hdmi not something like sound blaster or realtek audio 

 

Any tips or things to try are welcome 

 

Kind regards leon.

On Windows 10 you can click the speaker and choose the audio output from a dropdown.

 

Try connecting the optical cable directly to the computer then setting the onboard sound card as the output device. This will mute the TV output though.

 

Otherwise the option you need will be in the Audio Settings section of the TVs menu as its the TV sending the signal to the receiver, not the PC.

My laptop does not have a optical out unfortunately and if i use the prime video app on my tv it puts out 5.1 just fine only the pc doesn't seem to work i only get the option stereo in my pc audio settings
