Hi there i have a Gigabyte p15v2 laptop.

I currently have a soundbar connected to it via hdmi. I was wondering if I am making use of the full potential of the soundbar or would buying a usb dac be more beneficial.
I understand if I connect via hdmi I will be making use of the dac on the soundbar? But if I connect via 3.5mm cable I would be making use of the laptop's dac?
In that case a usb dac would be useless in a hdmi setup correct?
But if connected via 3.5mm cable a usb dac might provide better quality sound?
