I'm trying to setup a home theatre system running from my Imac M1 2021. I've got a USBC to HDMI cable from my Imac into an old Sony home theatre system. It looks like I've set it all up okay through Midi - it seems to recognise all the channels etc - but the side, centre and rear channels are playing out of my front speakers. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any fixes that anyone knows of?
Got a tip for us?

If you have looked in the Audio Midi Setup app on the Audio screen, verified your receiver is recognised as a multichannel device, and then checked where the channels are located, it could be that whatever app you are using to play (presumably) a multichannel film does not recognised multi-channel audio devices.
Thanks MajorFubar. Yes to all that, but I'm getting that result with the Midi app.
