Just a followup to this;
I am using ffdshow, and went in and check the settings - It was set to 2-channel output. Thinking I had it sorted, I reset it to 5.1 channel output, restarted MCE and went through the speaker setup. This time, I got more than two chimes in the test (so excited I did not count them all) , but when I tried to play my DVD again I got the same behaviour.... only background noises, no dialog.
My next step will be to start a DVD playing, and opening the nVidia PureVideo control to see if there are any settings there I can tweak.... Any one else have some thoughts that may help?

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
