I used to have a 3 monitor set up with an iMac, however, I have upgraded and build my own PC.

here are the specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z490-A

CPU: Intel i7 10700K

Monitors: 2 AOC 27B1H 27" LCD Monitors

                1 MSI - Optix 27" LED Curved FHD FreeSync Monitor

I believe that is all the information needed to understand what's going on, I hope.

My main monitor, the MSI Optix, is connected via a Display port to HDMI adapter, Display Port connected to the motherboard, HDMI connected to the monitor, works fine.

my left monitor is connected to the HDMI on the motherboard, works fine. 

However, for my right monitor...

At the time, due to the obnoxious prices of Graphics Cards at the moment, I am going to hold off for a while, so I have to work with the motherboard for now. I bought a USB-C to HDMI wire (j5create USB-C to 4K HDMI Cable) plugged it into the USB-C port and... nothing. 

I tried drivers, plugging in and un-plugging, turning on and off, updates, nothing.   

Should I try a USB 3.0 to HDMI instead to see if that works? 

I have the following:

- 802-VLZ3 Mixer (Analog)

- Behringer U-Phoria UM2 Audio Interface

- XLR Dynamic Mic

-Logitec Z323 PC Speakers

-iMac

-and PLENTLY of cables.

ALL. I want to do is to be able to control my PC speakers and record my Mic though the mixer to a program (exp: Audacity). WHAT needs to be plugged into WHERE to make that possible?!

There is not a single tutorial with this information ANYWHERE.

If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated!
