Does DisplayPort support only 6 Channel Audio (5.1)?

Good Morning,

i have a Dell Dock D6000 connected with USB 3.0 with my Notebook Dell E5550.
On the Dock is a HDMI-Cable to my AVR Pioneer VSX-LX303. With this connection i get only 6 Channel Audio bitstream to my AVR. Latest DisplayPort Drivers are installed.

What is the Problem, does DisplayPort only support 6 Channel Audio, i can't believe?
Or is this a limitation because of the connection with USB 3.0?
