Tony, don't know where you have been reading that hdmi on a motherboard is only 2 channel, but afaik thats absolute rubbish.. even cheap motherboards have
VIA VT2021 codec
High Definition Audio
2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
Support for S/PDIF Out
What mother board do you have?
Have you installed the gfx and audio drivers for your pc and enabled HD audio? I have had some old pc's that pass the DD/DTS through etc from HDMI, and is not stereo!!
Can you take a picture of the rear of your amp with every thing connected inc speakers.
If the options are greyed out then its either conflicting with an other setting or its not detecting it plugged in if thats a feature of the amp.
do you have one simple player of any kind with hdmi and optical/coax audio on it?
I would do a hard reset on the amp, un-connect every thing inc speakers, do not use the set up mic for now..
Plug say you rear speakers in first then connect what ever you have with HDMI and make it play some music or what ever and change the settings until you get sound from the rear speaker, then start plugging front in etc.
Difficult to do things sat behind a pc... and your to far to come sort it for you..

Ok it says with those boards you need Silverstone FP32B-E 3.5" Black Front IO Module - SST-FP32B-E - Scan.co.uk
"Realtek ALC887 codec
High Definition Audio
2/4/5.1/7.1-channel (Note 4)
Support for S/PDIF Out
(Note 4) To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver."
Does your case have that on the front?
Kinda sucks that they force you to buy other things...
Also in the pc audio software does it not let you choose 5.1 speakers? and have you tried unticking the stereo option bottom left?

ok the item silverstone-fp32b-e-4-x-usb-30-and-2x-hd-audio-35-bay-device-front-i-o-aluminium-black no its not on the front of my pc imnot sure if i like the idear of wires coming out the front of the pc but if its what ive got to do i might in the end and as for the settings on my realek

You wouldn't have wires coming out the front mate, I think its just the header on the mother board needs to be connected..
Possibly look in the bios as well when booting up to see if its a bios setting

was my expectations to high with what you get with a amp
some good news but some bad news aswell
ok optical didnt work becaulse arc was on so we turn that off now so thats ok but found out you dont get 5.1 with freeveiw
soninlaw rigged his ps3 up and played a blueray film we did get 5.1 it showed the speakers on the amp but side ones came on instead of the back and didnt get much from the s/w or center
now as for the silverstone-fp32b-e-4-x-usb-30-and-2x-hd-audio-35-bay-device-front-i-o-aluminium-black for the pc a lot of the stuf i watch is avi so i think now that thay will only play in 2 channel anyway so if i keep the amp i might get the silverstone thing
but im having a good think about sending it back as i said i got beter sound out my old sharp prologic hifi 10 years ago it just seems a lot to pay when you only get 5.1 from hd channels by the sound of it but thanks all for your time will let you no tomorrow cheers tony

Tony, sounds like you not set up correct mate or your not selecting neo6 or PLII when watching a stereo source, when I watch normal bbc1 I get sound through all 7 of my speakers my amp is 3 years older than yours and I am 100% sure your will do the same as my denon..
you might be better getting an all in one box its simpler to set up.

so any im going to keep it all now and should get the addvantage what i get a hd sat box up with it cheers tony

I'm pretty sure that's normal though. Neo6 is a simulated surround sound I'm sure.
You only get proper surround from digital sources like ps3 etc.
To get it on your pc for watching movies, then install xbmc and set it to pass through audio
