Hi there
i have a problem similar like others already asked. I want to use the beam as a computer speaker. My setup is a monitor with hdmi in, displayport in and aux. I connect my laptop via hdmi cable to the monitor. I heard that i‘ts possible to play music over the beam with an audio converter. I bought myself this model https://www.wish.com/product/5ea7f51d9a24065b37e22773?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=CH&_force_currency_code=CHF&pid=googleadwords_int&c=%7BcampaignId%7D&ad_cid=5ea7f51d9a24065b37e22773&ad_cc=CH&ad_lang=DE&ad_curr=CHF&ad_price=19.00&campaign_id=9527731137&exclude_install=true&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_drer5Ww7gIVxRV7Ch2dhgIJEAQYASABEgJNI_D_BwE&share=mobileweb
probably not the best one i know, but it has all the in– and outputs i need and should work as far as i know. So i connected my laptop,via hdmi to the hdmi in at the audio converter, then one hdmi from hdmi out (converter) to my monitor and the digital optical cable/hdmi earc (cable from sonos) from the converter to the sonos beam. I switched the converter to 5.1 but there‘s no sound coming from the beam. Does anyone has an idea why this doesn‘t work?
Thank you all for your time and support, i‘m a bit lost at the moment because i‘d really like to have the beam as a computer speaker if somehow possible..
cheers Jeremy
