I have optical cable going to my 5.1 DTS/DD capable receiver. I switched to that output in the Realtec Audio Manager. Running Blu-ray with DTS. Receiver is only seeing 2 channels. (no DTS or DD) . I am assuming that the optical output does not decode DTS or DD.
If so do I need software or must I get a sound card to get 5.1 DD or DTS ?

Would have to know make and model of receiver and blue ray player

Thank you for your reply.
The Bluray is LG WH12LS39 BluRay DVD CD R/W
Denon AVR3803 is the receiver.
I also have a Sony STR-DG1200 Receiver
Both are capable of DTS/DD. I get the same results with both. (2 channel digital audio)
Although I am curious to know what knowledge of the receiver is needed for. Every device that I have ever hooked up to any DTS/Dolby Digital receiver has been automatically read by the receiver as DTS/Dolby Digital ( i.e. TIVO, DVD Players and stand alone Bluray).

I figured out the issue.
I am using VLC Player to play bluray disc. I needed to make adjustments in the audio preferences of the VLC player and now I can play blurays with DD 5.1.
I am using DAUM (pot player) to play mkv files with DD encoding. I had to make adjustments in the audio preferences in that player to get DD 5.1.
Apparently the default settings in these players are not set to play DD/DTS.
Alas ! I am learning
