The thread in the Xbox forum inspired me here.

I have a Dolby Digital receiver at home which is digitally wired up to my DVD player, but only hooked up to the PC with standard 2 channel interconnects.

This is because, as far as I can tell, it is impossible to get surround sound (5.1 or other) in PC games with a digital connection.

Is this true? And if it is, what gives? Why can you hook an Xbox up to a Dolby Digital receiver but not a PC?
