Laptop to TV (through HDMI) to surround, but no 5.1
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-2078ca Entertainment Notebook PC
Specs here: Product Specifications
I have my Computer hooked up to the TV through a HDMI Cable and My TV is hooked to a surround sound receiver through
red and white cables.
From Audio Out on the TV
The TV is a Toshiba 37HL57
I tried installing new Realtek and ATI drivers, but I still couldn't get the surround working.
I installed these

But working I mean, I go to control panel then sound and for HDMI is only lets me select stereo.
After some research I figured maybe its because the HDMI goes to the TV and the TV itself only has two speakers.
Still there must be a way to do this.
I can't do HDMI to the surrouund receiver as its a bit old
But, its seems to be surround when playing movies through VLC...
But I tried this surround test.

and you could defintiely tell there was "audio coming from different corners". But, when the test announced which speaker the sound should be coming out, it wasn't always accurate.
