How to get 5.1 AC-3 surround sound for videos in iTunes
I've never had any difficulty getting 5.1 sound out of my videos/movies that I've converted using Handbrake. As for the digital output, it passes along whatever it's given; if you play a 5.1 track, it sends that out to whatever is at the other end; you'll get static if you try to play digital sound through an analog device, or a receiver that's incapable of understanding AC-3 or DTS signals. ---

How to get 5.1 AC-3 surround sound for videos in iTunes
One other thing: if you're encoding with Handbrake, you need to make sure it's set to passthrough the 5.1 AC-3 track your movie has, otherwise you end up with "Surround", which isn't true multi-channel 5.1, but rather faux-surround. You can always tell what a movie has by opening it with QuickTime Player 7 & checking the "Get Info" panel; you'll see the video & audio tracks listed in that window. ---
