HDMI or Optical Audio and Stereo at the same time

Ive got the new WDTV live and I can confirm that it can indeed output HDMI audio and Composite Video at the same time which is great. 

My question is on the audio. What I want is HDMI audio passthru and composite stereo audio at the same time. Doesn’t want to do it. Why give me composite video and HDMI video concurrently without both having audio :frowning:

Any ideas?

Are you using the supplied WDTV Live cable?

You can’t do this.

You can choose STEREO, which will output 2-channel audio out both the analog and HDMI outputs, but you cannot simultaneously output 2-channel stereo and passthrough to HDMI at the same time.
