Question getting surround sound-what settings?

Hi,
My Optical Cable came from amazon today. I have plugged it into the 360 and my amp,but I still can't get surround sound. On the console settings.auto, I changed the auto to digital output, then dolby digital 5.1

What am I doing wrong?

Have you changed any assignment settings on your amp? I'd assume that you have to assign the optical input on the amp.
