I have the same receiver and experience the same problem. But obviously DD 
works if one chooses one of the Cinema Sound Fileds. Without this sound 
program my receiver doesn't play the center channel.

I also tried the bitstreamout (DMX XFire), but with similar results.

If someone would have a solution for this, it would be great. Who wants to 
swap my soundcard with one that's working with the SONY? ;-)
