Hi,
thinking of getting the WD Live 1080p media streamer to stream files from a netgear NAS drive (mainly .mkv files with 5.1 audio)
the wd live will be connecting to a samsung lcd tv via hdmi and then my 5.1 surround sound system will be connected from the samung tv to the 5.1 sub via toslink optical cable
i was wondering if the hdmi connection on the wd live streamer will support 5.1 audio over hdmi as i dont want to connect the optical cable from the streamer to the surround sound as then i wont get 5.1 sound from the tv unless i switch over cables etc
any help would be appreciated
