Incubation

I also have a Yamaha receiver and have sound problems specifically related to not being able to output to all channels despite my reciever displaying 5.1 it only outputs to the front left, front right, sw and rear right speakers, nothing comes out of the rear left or centre speakers at all no matter what settings I try, but everything else works perfectly. Maybe this is just a Nintendo thing an for whatever reason they don't get on well with Yamaha recievers.

Just wondering how have you got the wii u connected hdmi to reciever then reciever to TV/projector like me? also what type of cable are you using the wii U hdmi cable or a different one? Because to date I haven't been able to fix my sound issues either.

Anyone else had a similar problem? even though my receiever displays 5.1 audio operating the sample sound test from within the wii u menu has missing tones.

Just so everyone knows my ps3, xbox 360 and bluray player all output sound to my receiver via Hdmi then the picture is outputted to the television via the same Hdmi cable and they all work perfectly and utilise all the audio channels so my speakers and receiver is setup properly, but not getting 5.1 audio from the Wii U using PCM and my receiver supports up to 8 channels for PCM. This is really starting to piss me off now everything else works fine but not this bloody console :/

Just a quick update I have unplugged absolutely everything from my reciever, bought 2 brand new Hdmi cables and connected the Wii U directly to reciever and then to the TV and still doesnt work correctly, front left, front right, sw and rear right work fine, silence from centre and rear left speakers, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol

help me obi-wan kenobi you really do seem to be my only hope

If i set stereo in the wii tv sound options menu i get front left and right output plus sw output as expected but when selecting surround itdisplays on my receiver as using all 5 channels plus sw but when running the sample test the centre and rear left speaker output nothing im at a loss as to what to do could the hdmi cable with the wii u be at fault? If i call up audio input info for the sound it displays pcm 3/2/1 0.1 but no outputting to all channels its really annoying me now.

Already looked at the thread before posting, I just don't understand why only seems to be sound coming from the front left, front right and rear right speakers when I do a sample test from the Wii u sound menu though.
