Does anyone know how to get speakers 6&7 - Rear surround active when you're using a hd codec?

I get no sound in DTSHD or TrueHD, but can in other codecs if I use expanded. I use a Polk surround bar, so I have all 5 channels up front. I want speakers 6&7 to give me some rear surround.

Thanks,
Greg

(I see that this is super old and honestly I hope you found a solution but here goes)

Where have you plugged in your speakers? Did you plug them into L/R Rear or L/R Surrond? I know you are getting sound in some codecs and not others but try switching them from one to the other and see what happens. Also check which 7.1 setting you have turned on. There is a 7.1 option for 5 speakers in the front. That also might help.

I ended up using front height speakers instead. That works out pretty well. My room really wasn't good for traditional 7.1, but 5 up front works very well. Thanks for asking.
