Yeah it was a different name.
I have added on the “ideas” section the suggestion to have the AAC 5.1 converted on the fly to DolbyDigital 5.1. But nobody cared to vote for it. Anyway, because of the incompatibility with SPDIF and current receivers, I stay away from AAC files.

Im sorry but WD TV LIVE supports 5.1 channel on audio output?
On the manual i think i read 2 channel only.
It supports it in the sense that it will pass through the AC3 or DTS to a receiver that can decode it (when “Digital” is selected in the Audio/Video options). But it’s only AC3 or DTS 5.1 that is supported.
When you select “Stereo” it will convert the audio to stereo.
Kelly is correct.
If you refer docs of WD Live you will find that WD Live is dependent on Audio Receiever to decode 5.1 channel sound.
