Enabling 5.1 sound in MCE 2005

Hi all,

I have a spdif digital sound cable from the motherboard of my PC to my Philips Soundbar (5.1 speaker). When I play videos with PowerDVD, I get full 5.1 sound - DTS etc...

When I play with MCE, I get 2 speaker sound.

When I try going through the MCE sound setup, specifying digital coax and 5.1 speaker setup - it completes successfully, but the test sound only yields two 'dings', and subsequantly playing DVD's gives me just the background sound - with no dialog

Can anyone provide some ideas of what I can do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks
