Hello, I recently built a PC and have a nice setup with a Samsung UN65KS8500F UHD TV and Klipsch RSB-11 soundbar and experiencing difficulties.
The audio works fine when utilizing the same HDMI cable as the video output from the GPU to the TVs ARC, however, I am unable to get sound when running a separate HDMI from the mobo directly to the soundbar. There are 3 Nvidia HDMI output (ports 1,2,3) listed in sound devices but the status is "not plugged in".
Is it even possible to run a separate HDMI for audio from the mobo to the soundbar? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Specs
Gigabyte Gaming 7 Z170
EVGA GTX 1070 FTW ACX 3.0
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you so much for you input in advance!
