[SOLVED] How can I do this...

[SPECOPS70]

Merry Xmas all!!

Ok here is my setup and I hope I can get some advice on how to proceed. My specs are in sig.

I have three screens setup on my 2060. 3 DP and one HDMI being used by my Sony surround sound receiver (model: strDN840).

I have the dn840 as my pc sound via the 2060 hdmi connection. sounds amazing. Got center speaker, two tall speakers and my sub.

Issue: I want to connect a 4th display. BUT as i explained the last connection on the 2060 is the HDMI being used by the Sony receiver. How can i work around this issue? I will need to use the HDMI on my 2060 for the fourth display.....how can i continue to use the dn840 as my sound? Not sure if my MOBO has an option where i can use the sony surround. Or can I install something in my pc via usb or inside of it. Thx

I noticed i have an optical connection on my mobo. will it work the same way as the hdmi?

that is what i use for audio out to my receiver.
offers great quality, surround, etc.

Will it take over the entire pc like my HDMI? I ask because will something change since it won't be coming from gpu and it will be coming from mobo? Will I be able to hear it via surround during games, YouTube etc? Thx

you choose which output device you want to use.
either motherboard onboard audio or graphics card audio.
