I have a very complicated problem that I hope you can help me with.
I have the following setup:
- PC with:
- DVI out to primary monitor
- HDMI out to AV-receiver, which then goes to TV and 5.1 sound system
I want my sound to play on the AV-receiver. To do this, I have to "Extend" or "Duplicate" my desktop to the AV-receiver (i.e. the TV). If I do not do this, the sound also doesn't go to the AV-receiver. However:
- Extending desktop is a problem, because my TV is not always on, and windows will still randomly move to this 2nd monitor (I can get them back with
Windows+Shift+L_ARROWbut this is not ideal...) - Duplicating desktop is a problem, because my TV is 16:9 and my PC monitor is 21:9
So what I need is a solution that allows me to still send the sound through HDMI to my AV-receiver, but have only 1 desktop on my monitor (not on my TV). Obviously, the option to extend to my TV should still be available, should I want to watch a movie on my TV.
I hope my question is clear, and I hope someone knows a solution. I don't mind a solution that uses 3rd party software.
