Can I connect Sony Iv300 5.1 to pc motherboard?

[bunny.hari11]

I have Sony iv 300 5.1 dolby speakers and it has hdmi arc..
My motherboard is gigabyte B85m-dth.
I use GPU hdmi for monitor..

Can I use motherboard hdmi to connect my 5.1 Sony speakers for surround n dolby sound?

I don't think you need to connect your speakers to the motherboard, just run you GPU's HDMI through the speakers and on to your monitor, using HDMI ARC.

So Gtx 960 hdmi supports audio also like hdmi arc?
Sony Iv300 has 2 hdmi and 1 hdmi arc

All video cards with an HDMI port output audio. You just need to set HDMI Audio out as the default playback device in "Control Panel > Sound > Playback".

So I should do
GPU Hdmi to Audio receiver Hdmi Arc and Hdmi of receiver to Hdmi of Monitor?

So I should do
GPU Hdmi to Audio receiver Hdmi Arc and Hdmi of receiver to Hdmi of Monitor?

It should be the opposite, HDMI ARC is the output to the monitor.

I'm not clear what you are asking, what power issue are you concerned about? Does your 4 socket Belkin cord have battery backup or is it only surge protection?

 

[bunny.hari11]

Its just a surge protector.. I connected cpu and monitor .. Will It handle if I Connect Iv300 speakers?
You know 3 connections on a single surge power cord..

It should be fine. Belkin would not put 4 sockets on the power cord if they thought it might be dangerous. In any case all the electrical wiring in your house or apartment run to a main circuit breaker panel that will trip off if any lines become overloaded.

 

[bunny.hari11]

PC And speakers are high wattage right, that's why I'm Confirming..

PC And speakers are high wattage right, that's why I'm Confirming..

Even if you plugged the speakers into a different outlet, it's almost certain all the electrical outlets in the room are wired together on the same 110V line.

Alright! Thanks for every thing..

Hey, a quick update.. I just talked to Sony live support..
What he says is ' u cannot able to connect it to PC via HDMI as it is not Recommanded..
He says HT being the central hub is not recommanded like 3way..

And also HDMI IN 1 and 2 supports Dolby True HD and DTS HD. HDMI out Arc supports only Dolby digital. Which means there won't be any TRUE HD sound right?

So,what do you think on this.?

You can try it yourself and see if you are happy with the sound or not. Did he tell you how he thought you should hook it up?

The reason why i'm asking because i have lot of 4k HDR 10 bit Dolby digital movies on my Hard drive and i want it to experience the true Audio.. Sadly i can't connect IV300 to my TV as it doesn't have HDMI ARC or Digital Audio for Dolby Digital...

The fact that your TV does not have HDMI ARC or Digital Audio should not matter. Your Sony HT-IV300 speakers play the audio from your video cards HDMI out and sends the unaltered video signal through to your TV. What is your video card?
