Thanks for the help. It seems my TV does not support ARC. I spoke with Intel today and they strongly recommend HDMI directly to the monitor and not through a repeater/receiver. I don’t think I get the optimal sound out of any other method from my Dell 580s so think my next step is to get a new graphics card as it will likely be a bit cheaper than HDMI Detective and I would prefer it work without adding another piece of hardware into the chain.
I queried NewEgg for small form factor display cards. It seems that I might be best off with the GeForce GT 430 but hoping someone with more technical knowledge can help confirm this will work with my Dell 580s (slim) given it’s size and power constraints.
Thanks much!
