hey

i already have 4 monitors so i thought id only buy a center and a sub and could have a 5.1 system.
the problem is that the monitors are already amplified.
how can i connect them?

from HDMI (gygabyte vega 64) to an adaptar (if there is something like this) or from the motherboard (asus z390-a)? i want the best quality (dts, atmos, pcm).
i watch a lot of 1080p dts concerts, play 5.1 games and building a music production room.

i need an av with pre outs? from what i checked, the price is high
any way of making it work? i also need to be able to control the level of the speakers. the monitors dont have a level control.
is there a software for this?

i don't want to use the analog connectors, i want it to work through spdif or hdmi,
