Default Blu-ray player audio 3.1/5.1 help

Ok, I bought a Sony Blu-ray player,a LG HDTV and Yamaha 5.1 speakers with sub. I was very happy with it and all. When I started to watch movies (BD and DVD), even though the movie supported 5.1 sound, it was playing 3/2.1 audio(well, thats what my Blu-ray played said). I assume that mean 3.1 but I'm not sure. Does anyone know why it doesn't play 5.1 surround sound????

Thanx,
Megagab99

the 1st number means your center and right and left 3/the 2nd number is your Left/right surround hence the 2 and the .1 means your sub.So 3/2.1 is right. if you had a 7 speaker setup like I have it would show 3/4.1.
