1. Bitstream (re-encode)---I had done this and could hear nothing.
2. Bitstream (audiophile)---I for some reason had missed this one.

I selected the audiophile and option and it is working awesome. I know the soundbar isn't a true 5.1 but in my oddly shaped room, it sounds 100X better than speakers on the TV.

Thank you so much for the help.

Now you owe us pictures of your setup.
