First and fore most I wanted to wish everyone a happy holidays! I am building my father a computer this year for Christmas because he has had the same Windows XP computer for as long as I can remember. I currently have 2 issues with this build that I can not seem to figure out. Here are the Specs for the build:
**CPU** | [AMD Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor]
**Motherboard** | [MSI X470 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard]
**Memory** | [Patriot Viper 4 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory]
**Storage** | [Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]
**Video Card** | [MSI Radeon RX 560 - 1024 4 GB AERO ITX Video Card]
**Video Card** | [MSI Radeon RX 560 - 1024 4 GB AERO ITX Video Card]
**Case** | [Aerocool Cylon ATX Mid Tower Case]
**Power Supply** | [Thermaltake Smart 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply]
1.) Currently I am unable to have sound come through the HDMI port of my Graphics card. I know the card itself works because before I put it into my fathers build I tested it in my personal build. I have flashed the BIOS for both my MOBO and GPU. I also made sure to get the latest driver for all of my hardware. I know that the CPU has the APU already in, but I have set the values in the BIOS to PEG for when it comes to integrated graphics. Is there any possible way that particular thing be the Issue?
2.) [Not the main issue It can definitely go without Crossfire] I am also trying to set-up cross fire on this build as well. Just because I had 2 of the same GPUs and I am having a lot of difficulties accomplishing this as well. I have already made sure it was still able to crossfire because I know AMD has completely changed their Software. So I got it working on my personal build, but was unable to do so on my fathers build. I have read the manual for the MOBO already and it state that if an APU is present it will occupy the PCIe-4 slot, I have also disabled the integrated graphics already. Would the APU still be the issue even though integrated graphics has been disable? I couldn't find any definitive answers while searching through forums.
I just would like to go ahead and thank any one who reads this and considers helping me.
Happy Holidays,
