I have a new 7th-gen Intel NUC (NUC7i5BNB), hooked up to an audio
receiver via HDMI. I have tried a bunch of different things, but I am
only able to get stereo audio out of it.
I can connect my notebook to the same HDMI and get surround just fine;
when I select that output, the receiver sees a PCM bitstream, but it
only ever sees stereo from the NUC.
Both systems are up-to-date Fedora 25.
