HDMI 5.1 in pavucontrol says 'unplugged'

I'm trying to get 5.1 surround sound working by sending the audio signal to my Yamaha receiver. I have successfully done this by using the S/PDIF cable which runs directly to the receiver. The problem with that is the audio and video get out of sync. I think it could be because the audio goes to the receiver on one cable and the video goes to the TV on a separate HDMI cable. So I'm trying to route the audio through the HDMI. This way the TV will send the signal to the receiver and hopefully fix the syncing issue.
When I open pavucontrol it says all my 5.1 and 7.1 connections are unplugged. All that is available is the stereo connections. I have no idea what to do.
