Hi guys and girls. I'm typically very PC savvy having built my own computers in the past but this is one that I can't find much information on. I have a Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Elite motherboard and a Powercolor Red Devil RX-6800 XT. I watch a lot of movies and have my PC connected up to a 75 inch TCL C735 and on the audio side it's connected to an Onkyo TX-NR6100 via HDMI. I have two cables from the PC, one is using a display port to HDMI adapter which goes to the tv and the second one comes from the PC to the AVR. I have been using the display extend method built in to windows 11 so that I can get full audio capabilities sent to the AVR and also retain my 4K at 144hz on the tv. I have just managed to purchase an Asus HDAV 1.3 slim PCI soundcard because I thought that would be the best way to alleviate having to use my extend display technique. After realising that my motherboard doesn't even have a PCI slot (I need to read things better when I buy things online) I bought an M.2 to PCI legacy adapter. I plugged in the aforementioned parts and the PC booted up fine with the soundcard being recognised by Windows. After this is where the confusion begins.....
Does anybody have any experience with these sound cards and in particular their installation and setting up? Do I need to have a HDMI going from my GPU to the soundcard and then one from the soundcard to the AVR? Or can I just have one going from the soundcard to the AVR? I had it plugged in and recognised but I'll be damned if I could actually get any audio from the card. Any help would be amazing! Thanks
