I'm in the midst of building a system and I started wondering about audio connectivity.
The mobo will be an MSI X99S SLI Plus with built in audio. An optical S/PDIF is provided.
The video card will be an MSI GTX 970 and, at first, I'll be using the HDMI output to a monitor
with speakers. The monitor also has a S/PDIF output so when I have the $$$ I can get a 7.1 rig.
So:
Can I drive the monitor's sound from the HDMI?
.....if so: is there anything I have to do in setup
How does the sound signal get to the video card?
(in the olden days we'd run a jumper cable from the sound card).
