Hello all,
This is a minor issue, since I technically have a workaround, but I'm wondering if there's another way to permanently settle this. I will also offer full disclosure that I have no clue what I am doing, as will be evident by how I've set this all up.
I'm using a sound setup that goes as follows:
Tower > HDMI > TV > Analog SPDIF (no Optical output on TV) > converter > Optical SPDIF > Soundbar (no Analog input)
Overall, I have no issue with my sound when I use my TV as a second monitor, or when I use it as a TV. The only time I have any issues is when I finish playing a full screen game like Overwatch or Fallout 4; my soundbar outputs no sound until I go into my TV setting, and flip PCM to off, and back to PCM. My TV's speakers have no issue transferring from fullscreen to desktop, but for whatever reason something gets stuck between my TV and soundbar.
Any ideas on what is causing this specific problem? And any suggestions on how to simplify or improve things? Again, I don't have a clue about anything sound related, so I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
