Audio Solution for my gaming setup

[Fenrir8080]

Hi LTT Community, I am looking for some solutions for a first world problem I am facing. I have a pc (Gigabyte GTX 1070Ti & MSI B450 Tomahawk Max) hooked up to 2 monitors. ( Prism+ X270 PRO and ASUS VX278H) via Display Port and HDMI respectively. I also have a creative stage soundbar which is connected to my pc via AUX cable. I have recently got a nintendo switch, which is connected to my Prism+ X270 PRO via HDMI. However, I have overlooked the part about audio. As of now, I would have to play my switch docked without any audio.

 

I would like to hear some advice or suggestions on how I can better optimise the connections between my devices, monitor and soundbar, so that I can have the  creative stage output the sound for my pc and my nintendo switch, when I am using them. (Not at the same time of course).

 

I have attached the port details of the prism monitor and the creative stage soundbar below. A point to note is that the monitor also has a 3.5mm jack although not stated in the picture.

Hello! Thank you very much for your reply!

 

Unfortunately the soundbar doesn't have a hdmi input...

I guess an audio splitter of some sort is what I need.

Things would have been easier if my mobo had an optical audio out.
