[QUOTE="goldfritter, post: 1116244, member: 23412"] Absolutely, the 3.5mm output from the laptop will have a fairly weak DAC in the first place too. [USER=20021]@gnilrac[/USER] I think - I am not certain, but I think - this could meet your needs: [URL]https://www.takealot.com/hdmi-audio-extractor-switch-4k-dac-digital-analogue-audio-with-a/PLID72989710[/URL] If I understand correctly, you should be able to plug the laptop into HDMI In and the TV into HDMI Out. Then, you can use the optical connection to extract 5.1ch sound from the device into the receiver. You won't then need to use any of the upmixing/"decoding" methods described above and will be able to get true 5.1ch using your current setup. I haven't used this device myself though so I can't say for sure it will work. Perhaps other forumites who have used it, can weigh in on its utility? [/QUOTE]
