A Dolby Digital stream from a DVD player can be sent to a high def receiver by digital optical or coaxial cable.
Many surround receivers have surround simulation capability, however this is not true surround sound. Two-channel analog outputs from a DVD player can be decoded to 3 or 4 channel Dolby Surround (not the same as Dolby Digital or DTS) using the same surround receiver.
Dolby 5.1 is a multi-channel audio format. Basically meaning, it's surround sound. There is a Left, Centre, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround and LFE (Sub) Speaker. Dolby 2.0 is simply 2 speakers, Left and Right. Similar to the Stereo sound you get from your TV. The Dolby bit means it has been compressed and encoded using Dolby technolgies, normally AC3.
Check in the menu of the av receiver, it should have a setting for surround sound DTS and/or Dolby Pro-Logic. The program has to be made in surround for you to get true surround in your home.
An optical audio cable is used to transmit digital audio (AC-3) signal from the source to the receiver, such as from a DVD player to a digital audio amplifier/receiver. You can transmit 5.1 dolby digital or DTS surround sound with an optical audio cable, same as digital coaxial audio cable.
Connect the digital audio output from the TV to the digital input of the surround sound receiver.

You can play dolby surround CDs if you have a surround-sound capable receiver. It should take no work on your end.
Dolby Digital Surround Sound.
You will need a sound card with a digital output (coaxial or optical) or a sound card with surround audio outputs and a receiver with 5.1 analog inputs to make it work.
Dolby Home Theater is a suite of effects for providing laptop computers with surround sound capability, including virtual surround through headphones, extended bass response and dolby digital signal creation through a digital output.

Not sure what you're asking. If you're asking if Dolby Digital has a better sound encoding (higher fidelity sound), then the answer would be yes. You have Dolby Digital EX, which is on par with DTS (Not an Dolby format), that is not on every movie but can be found on DVDs. Their is also Dolby TrueHD and it's competitor DTS-HD, which can be found on most Blu-Ray movies. But you need to make sure you have a surround sound system that will support these formats. If you're asking about how Dolby Digital will sound in an open concept house, than that would be up to your set up of your surround sound system. This could mean that you will need a receiver that puts out more power and the higher quality speakers to compliment it to carry the sound through out the house. There are also other considerations to think about which would be too much for this medium. Such as speaker placement, accoustics, sound dampening, etc....
