The plan is to run audio to TV via hdmi, which uses hdmi to sonos arc and surrounds.  I assume, correct me if I'm wrong, the GPU would push the audio?

Hmm, the signal has to go through the HDMI, but I'm not sure whether the MB audio codecs are still being used. Honestly, I don't know. But if you are to use an external output device without a dedicated software suite, I don't think it matters all that much regardless. It should work well, but I still hope someone more knowledgeable comes in to the rescue on this particular issue.

I don't know either.  Currently my laptop hdmi out on a 3050 is giving me Dolby atmos via the Sonos app. 

Thanks for the information, much appreciated.
