Your Arc GPU only comes into play when transcoding, which means that the client can't play the video as is. If your clients can't play AV1 directly, converting your media to AV1 would only result in more transcoding, which we should be trying to avoid.
The only thing you need to worry about is checking the correct boxes in Jellyfin (Dashboard > Playback). The codec check boxes represent what your GPU can DECODE. Use this table to determine which boxes you should be checking.

Install the latest Intel driver, enable quick sync in Jellyfin, check the right codec boxes, enable tone mapping and low power encoding.
Thank you very much for your explanation. This is exactly what I was looking for!
I had the card installed, but realized that it was faulty (probably why somebody had tampered with it/swapped it out?), so I am returning it today in hopes of finding another... No wonder I couldn't get it to work!
