Xbox 360 - HDMI and Dolby Surround?

[NewsBot]

I just got a new 46" Sony kdl46v3000 LCD

 

I have my Xbox 360 hooked up to it via HDMI.

 

I have a Digital Optical connection from the TV back to the receiver's input so I can push the digital sound from the HDMI through my TV and into my receiver for digital surround (My receiver doesn't have any HDMI inputs)

 

The problem is that, nothing from my xbox is being played in 5.1 Surround. All I get is Dolby Stero...

 

Is there some trick I need to do?

 

To clarify...

I have one of the newer xboxes with an HDMI port, and the HDMI cable is plugged directly from xbox into back of TV, and then digital optical out from TV to receiver.

 

 

Any one have any insight into this?
