Objective: Direct audio and video from computer to Denon receiver via optical and HDMI.
Here's my situation: I don't have a discrete graphics card, but I'm currently running two monitors (Either main monitor + TV or main monitor + secondary monitor). I also have an optical cable running to the Denon receiver. I can't seem to get audio out through that cable. However, when I have an HDMI cable running to the receiver, I get audio and video. I'm baffled as to what differently I need to do to get audio through the optical cable. I've tried to switching to the input on the receiver that is set up for optical but I get nothing. Is there some other setting in the computer I'm missing?
