A quick question guys, i have just purchased a intel nuc7i5bnh and found out about the HD audio debacle, disappointing. so am i correct in thinking a USB C to HDMI adapter/cable would be a workaround for this, as the video and audio would then not be going through LSPCon right?.

Just to be clear, im thinking about getting this:-

and if it does get around the HD audio limitation then are there any nasty side effects of using this over the standard HDMI port?.

edit - sorry just to be clear im going to be running LibreELEC on this box, i know Windows can do HD audio on this device but i really don't want the hassle/overhead of Windows

No that will not get around the issue. As the adapter is just an external LSPCon instead of using the internal one.

OK, well thanks for the reply, if i wasn't too bothered about HD audio could i simply get kodi to transcode the audio and at the very least be able to get sound for movies with HD audio (all be it not HD audio, as in SD DTS/Dolby) or is this just not possible at all?.
