Hey guys, so I have a MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming series motherboard, an MSI GTX 760 2GB OC edition, a Pioneer VSX-1122K 7.1 receiver, and a BenQ XL2420T display all running on Windows 8.1 Pro w/ Media Center x64, nVidia drivers v331.65, Intel drivers v10.18.10.3316. All latest.
Currently I have it hooked up where my monitor gets a 120hz 1080p signal from my GTX 760 via DVI, and audio goes to the Pioneer receiver via HDMI. This works great, however it forcibly renders a second display over HDMI just so that it can produce audio. The onboard Intel HD 4600 is the same way. I simply cannot find a way to make is *just* produce audio over HDMI without rendering a second screen... This is super annoying as sometimes windows open in the second display and I have to switch my video inputs around every time JUST to move the window to the correct monitor.
My question is, is it possible to render only audio via HDMI so I dont have to constantly deal with a second video display? I'd like to point out that the reason I use HDMI for audio is to have lossless 5.1 surround sound. Thanks in advance!
