Hey,

Motherboard: MSI X370 gaming carbon pro

GPU: Asus 1080 Strix

Screen: AOC g2460Pqu (No optical in this screen)

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit

Hi @Roxxstar,

Using the optical cable with your PC should be the best option for this.  Can you check the settings on your PC are correct (particularly if ‘optical out’ is enabled and if the sound format has been set correctly)?

Cheers,
