I have tried all of the setting recommended to me thus far and to no avail. When I use these settings I get sound, but no readout as far as DTS, DOLBY Digital, etc on the Onkyo. Here are screenshots of the settings and a jpg from the Onkyo showing just (PCM Multichannel HDMI Audessey)
SPDIF settings and Windows 7 Audio settings

Like I said earlier, I am quite new to this stuff and it has really given me quite the stiff neck in just week 1! When I play any files with Xonar in HDMI mode and the Speakers set as default I get sound, but only (PCM Multichannel HDMI Audessey) listed on the Onkyo even when I played a Dolby Digital DVD from the drive and selected Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1.
If I switch the Xonar over to SPDIF my Onkyo shows more option on the upper panel such as PLII or Dolby Digital, but I get no sound whatsoever from my speakers. I am assuming this is because I don't have any SPDIF cables installed. I am just running the DVI-HDMI frrom the M3N78-VM motherboard to the Xonar HDMI in and the another HDMI cable from the XONAR HDMI out to the Onkyo's CBL/SAT HDMI in.
What is my next step?
On a side note when I go into Win 7 speakers and test my system it doesn't recognize my sub at all. Don't know why.
HTPC
ASUS M3N78-VM 4GB memory
Windows 7 32 bit
Xonar HDAV 1.3 Slim
