Connect soundbar with HDMI

[Omda Basha]

Hello everyone, recently I bought the Samsung 2.1 soundbar Model: HW-M435 and I am trying to connect it to my PC. I have a gigabyte Z390 aorus master motherboard.

I am trying to connect the soundbar to the PC through HDMI cable, tried the HDMI port coming from the mother board and the HDMI coming from the graphic card (RTX 2080) but in both cases the PC did not sense the bar and no sound came out of it till i connected it with optical cable.

I tried the HDMI and the ARC one on the bar with no good. do i need to change the cable or is it actually not possible to connect the soundbar to PC with HDMI?

you should be able to hook it from video card to sound bar. 

did you make sure the comps audio was set to it?
