UPDATE:
The analog wire didn't work, I now realize I
wasn't right. It's digital.
I think that the USB 3.0 card is now my next
possible solution.
========================
I think I might have hit on something. After
all the eth1 in the monitor is working as a
plug-and-play device, so shouldn't the sound
card?
I am suspicious that this is a hardware
issue. My motherboard isn't USB 3.0
compliant. Although I have six USB breakouts,
with four in the rear, two in the front, and
on the motherboard there's another, yes, a
third, USB pin-out which I'm assuming is at
least a dual USB port waiting to be used,
all of these are USB 2.0.
The motherboard has three USB 2.0 pin-outs,
two of which are used, one goes to a four
outlet breakout in the rear, and one goes to
a two outlet breakout in the front.
The hub on the monitor is a 3.0 device. It's
functioning as a backward-compatible 2.0
device, and the keyboard that I'm typing on
is connected to it as I'm typing this. BUT -
would this be of any sense? Since the System
Info output shows the USB sound from the
monitor is there, and the monitor is not
producing sound, and the monitor is a
USB 3.0 device, why wouldn't it make sense
to assume that it's the hardware that
requires a USB 3.0 connection?
Does that make any sense at all? Maybe if I
aquire a USB 3.0 pci breakout card, and hook
this daddyo up to it - bob's your uncle?
In any case. I'm trying the analog option
first, as I will have to order the card and
I can get the 3.5mm jumper right away.
The Philips monitor's manual seems to
indicate that the 3.5mm jacks are analog,
but my System Info (and other sources)
indicate that at least one of the jacks
might ALSO be digitally connected.
Also, is it feasible to assume that BOTH
might work, the analog and the digital?
Maybe it will?
Thanks for all the help, you're a good bunch
of fellows. B'H.
