Audio setup help

[MikeTGoody]

Hello! I'm currently running an Arctis Pro Wireless with a USB cable running to my PS4 (primary voice output device, don't have many friends on the PC side) and an optical audio cable running to my PC to allow for combined audio output. I'm currently upgrading my rig to an ITX board, but having tons of difficulty finding a ITX board with an optical audio port and onboard WiFi. I could switch the ports around, but I dont want to lose my capabilities to output voice audio to my PS4. Additionally, the PS5 doesn't currently have an optical audio port so that's a whole separate issue. Does anyone know of a motherboard that has onboard WiFi and an optical audio cable? Or an adapter from optical audio to HDMI/USB-C that would allow me to keep this current configuration? Thanks for the help!

Hey, are you using an AMD CPU, or Intel?

Hello! I'm currently using a 2700, but am upgrading to an 11600K here before the end of the year

So, you would want a motherboard for 11th gen intel CPUs?

[MikeTGoody]

Yes. I know its oddly specific, but I'm looking for an 11th Gen Intel board with onboard WiFi and optical audio output

So, your best bet for this is to find an ITX motherboard that supports 11th Gen processors. Personally, I like the B560 series. There are not many that come with an optical cable. A Toslink adapter is a good option for adding optical audio to a pc. You can also find adapters that you can purchase. A good motherboard with wifi, a USB type C port and more is the MSI MPG B560I.

Okay I'll take a look at that! Thank you!

No problem at all! Try looking at the Tensun audio adapter, and see if that will work for you.
