Just bought this the other day. Hooked it up to my TV, PS3, and HTPC. I'm able to get true 5.1 surround sound out of the PS3. However, my PC does not recognize there are 5 channels. Gaming sucks because sound will only come out of the front two speakers (stereo). Going to control panel > sound gives me no options to configure my speakers. Under "advanced" there are only options to test 2 channel bitrates. I previously had Logitech X-540 speakers connected to my computer and they worked just fine. Any thoughts?

I have a nForce 780i motherboard and all drivers are up to date. I am running Windows Vista x64 and my current setup is:
PS3 - HDMI - Receiver
PC - Optical - Receiver
TV - Optical - Receiver
PC - HDMI - TV
Receiver - HDMI - TV
