I hadn't realised that this was the place where profiles are selected. Thanks very much.<br><br>>Since you probably have configured the default channel count to be 6, a52<br>> overrides the stereo hdmi. Sorry for the spam.<br>Although I didn't set the default to 6 channels, you are correct I could not get stereo HDMI output (but only in Flash oddly). I will check whether this all works later.<br><br>Appreciate your help.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Mike<br><br><br></div></div> </div><br> </body></html>
