Integrated graphics and audio and dedicated hardware in the same pc

[Jbonham_86]

Hi there, I have a doubt (I know, its a noob question) but I have a motherboard that comes with audio and integrated graphics. when I first installed windows I installed absolutely everything that came in the motherboard cd, and then I installed my r9 290 drivers that come with both video and audio drivers for the hdmi output.

after that I saw that the motherboards audio was inutilized, but I didnt care since I get the audio from the hdmi output of the graphics card, but know Im freaking out because I have sound issues when I play videogames, the sound gets a very weird interference, doesnt matter if its with a very stressing game or not. Sometimes even resembles the noise old 56ks modems made.

Could I have conflict between the audio from the motherboard and the card?

Also, do I have to deactivate the motherboards integrated videocard in some way if I have a dedicated one?

THanks

No, it doesn't matter if you have the drivers for your IGP and onboard sound installed. What are you sending the HDMI signal to and what audio formats does it support?

What I do is: I get the audio out through the videocards hdmi to a tv/monitor, and from there to a 5.1 sound system decodificator through the headphones jack of the tv/monitor

About the audio formats I guess it doesnt matter because the tv the only thing it does is relay the audio signal from itself to the speaker system.

It only happens with videogames

It absolutely does matter what formats your TV/monitor supports if it's taking the HDMI signal (digital) and converting it to something that uses a 3.5mm minijack (analog).
