I don’t know anything about audio, I built a new computer and my motherboard has the following:

  • Audio Chipset Realtek® Audio CODEC
  • High Definition Audio
  • Audio Channels 7.1 Channels
  • 1 x USB Type-C® port, with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support
  • 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports (red)
  • 5 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
  • 4 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports
  • 1 x optical S/PDIF Out connector
  • 2 x audio jacks

What audio cable should I use for the best sound? Thanks

soundbar has the following connections:

HDMI ARC port, USB port, Optical-in, AUX-in
