Can't get surround sound on new Intel NUC

[Chris Adams]

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.

It may be helpful for those on the list to know what "bunch of different
things" you've tried so not as to suggest the same things and wasting
their, and your, time.
