Can I connect a Vizio soundbar to my computer using HDMI or USB off the motherboard?

[Anomaly1964]

The title is pretty much the question. I have an ASRock B450 PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 motherboard. I know I can do it via AUX but was just wondering if there was another way.

Thanks!

I assume your Asrock has an audio out port.

optical sounds great then hdmi from your gfx card lastly the 3.5mm jack (worst of the 3) but your board does not have optical so i guess a add in card or gfx card will be a option if not then 3.5mm /Edit i guess i forgot about wifi and blutooth options! (at least my sound bar offers those two as well)

you can use the 3.5mm connection as well if you do not have an optical connection.

Newegg has a refurb Vizio (I think) soundbar for $32 right now, takes 3.5mm AUX, optical, and Bluetooth, as well as has a USB port for playing music/.WAV files. Has a remote control, too. Looked interesting, I would have picked up a couple for my 4K TVs that I'm using as monitors, but don't have the money right now. (Using a Creative BT speaker set connected to my main PC for audio.)

I was going to go with a vizio soundbar, but after reading the reviews I went with a Yamaha sound bar!
