Where does the other end of the USB cable go?

no where yet.

To be honest, Im trying to get it to work as HDMI out, and have a USB to HDMI converter attached to it. But I doubt that will do what I want.

What do want to connect the HDMI output to?

sound bar JBL 1300

It works. DLNA FLAC
But to get Dolby Atmos it needs to be HDMI

Yea I know, its not going to work. See this device SHOULD have HDMI e arc output.

Im thinking of plugging it into the TV, well projector through USB and use its HDMI e arc

Have you read the specifications?

The USB output of the WiiM Ultra is USB audio only. To enable it it requires connection to a device that accepts USB audio input. As soon as you have that, you will see it as a selecable output.

The Ultra HDMI is ARC input only.

I know this now, about HDMI. It doesnt mention ANYWHERE that it has to be plugged in to USB to make it selectable. Optical coaxial, RCA are selectable and they arent hooked up.

That is the normal way. You can have multiple USB devices attached and to know what to make selectable, they need to exchange configuration information first.

It does mention in the support pages for usb audio that the sequence is connect your DAC and then choose the option in the app: https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support...utput-on-wiim-amp-wiim-amp-pro-and-wiim-ultra
