I have my Sony BDV-E4100 1000 W Home Cinema System connected to my TV via HDMI, and my TV is connected via another HDMI cable to my laptop. In other words, I am using my laptop via TV (to view movies on big screen), and have the laptop sound "travel" to my TV, and then via TV to the Sony System.
This works ok, the stereo sound is perfect, however the 5.1 sound is much worse than playing Blu Rays directly from on the Sony player, or accessing the player directly via TV (without laptop).
What I do not quite understand is that without the laptop (just TV --> Sony System), there is no loss in sound quality. And also from Laptop to Sony System (via Bluetooth), no loss in sound quality at all. Just when I combine these 3.
Why is that and how can I fix it? I do only have 1 HDMI out from my laptop which I need for the TV connection, and no way to directly connect the sony system to the laptop.
Thanks in Advance for any help.
