Mac mini hdmi audio midi setup

In my opinion you're pushing the envelope here. Now that Mac is notoriously difficult to setup into multi-channel and given your complex cabling, unfortunately you're on your own there.

I didn't fiddle with that setting, though. I could make the difference here. This used to work great for me, but I fiddled with some settings in the Audio Midi Setup utility, and now it doesn't work.
