Ive known this issue forever but I thought I read a post that a TV update would allow it to pass 5.1 out of the optical... Parents got a playbar and I hooked it up for them, updated the TV and nada.
I know I could get an HDMI switch that strips out the signal and connect it directly to the playbar but I rather not....Stupid samdungs.
