Help getting Surround Sound, not just PCM audio

I have the PS4 running to my Yamaha receiver through HDMI, and then HDMI to the TV. I only see PCM audio on the face of my receiver and I'm not sure that I'm getting surround sound (5.1). Is there a need for some kind of adjustment to get surround? I know that there are three choices of audio output, but does it matter to change them since the connections are all HDMI?

Yes go to settings on the PS4 and then go to the "Sounds and Screen" settings. After that go to Audio output settings. Make sure the primary output port is HDMI out then under Audio format choose a Bitstream option that you want to use. Default is Linear PCM which is why your not getting the results you want.
