VGA: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

I bought Beam 2 and want to connect with a PC but no sound can be heard from the HDMI port base on the mainboard or VGA, I changed to using Sonos HDMI to optical but still silent, what do I need to config or do something to beam 2 working? Thanks a lot.

If I'm not wrong try to check if your motherboard has Realtek hardware, which has no license for using driver for optical out. You need external usb card, if you use optical out from Asus motherboard, Realtek driver is to blame.

Use aaf Optimus audio tool. If you Google this you will find it.

Install the realtek drivers + 5.1 Dolby digital and dts. Reboot and it should work.

Now you have the drivers for audio over optical. And DTS 5.1 as well.
