The soundbar isn't working through HDMI.

I'm trying to connect my soundbar through the HDMI port on the motherboard (Processor: Intel 14900K), but there's no sound. I started troubleshooting and realized that the Intel audio driver is missing. I tried installing the Intel Graphics driver (gfx_win_101.6332_101.625), but it gives me an error saying there are no drivers for my device. I don't understand the issue, as my processor has an integrated GPU, which should output sound through HDMI.

I also discovered that the monitor doesn’t work when I try to connect it to the motherboard.

I’ve attached a log from the Intel System Support Utility and the error log from the driver installation attempt.

This is a high-end system with a Core i9-14900K and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER on an ASUS ProArt Z790-CREATOR WIFI.

The integrated graphics of the Intel processor do not appear to be activated. This can be activated in the BIOS, as described here from page 57 in chapter 6.3.

Please note that many soundbars can only receive audio via the Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). Computers cannot send this, a television would have to. Please specify the brand and model of the soundbar.

Unfortunately, you cannot connect this soundbar directly to a graphics card.
