Dolby Digital Output from M1 Mac Mini

Hello,

I've had my new Mac Mini for about 3 weeks now and loving 92% of it. I'm getting sharp 4K HDR @ 60 Hertz for video playback, however, only getting stereo audio output. Is it possible to get dolby digital audio out from the Mac Mini?

Any input on this topic would be appreciated... thank you...

Connecting a sound system to the mini m1 2020 Good Evening. :-) (My text got lost, so there is a second item with pictures only...) I've got the new Mac mini m1 and an older sound (multimedia/home cinema-) sound system with an integrated 5.1. amplifier (Motiv 5), and a decoder-station, both made by Teufel. I would like to know if there is a way to connect this devices. Maybe there won't be any surround sound but halfway acceptable stereo quality would be enough for me ... at first. Would that work? And if so, what do I need? Thank you very much for your support!

Mac Pro 2020 Surround 5.1 optical-digital audio A present I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro and I use surround 5.1 sound optical-digital audio a lot. I need a new 2020 Mac Pro or a 2020 iMac Pro but how can i get my surround 5.1 sound optical-digital audio into the new macs as I hear Apple have stupidly removed the input for optical-digital audio on new macs? Mac Pros are my computer of choice... well the Mid 2010 Mac Pro was as its epic

So Apple is being Apple, I get it. No big deal. Dolby Digital works when I watch movies from the Amazon Prime app on my TV so will just do that. Thank you for the respnse.

It does through HDMI.

6 channel and decoded audio.

Select in Audio Midi Configuration.
