Hi, I have a Radeon R7 200 series graphics card which has 3 outputs - HDMI, DVI, and VGA. I plug in my computer monitor via the DVI port and my TV via the HDMI port. If I have only the TV plugged in, it receives and outputs sound through the HDMI cable. But if I plug in the monitor via DVI, the TV stops receiving sound through the HDMI cable.
I've tried fiddling with the settings, including making the TV my "primary display" but nothing helps. Only having the DVI cable unplugged will let me get sound to the TV.
Any idea what I can do to get audio to my TV while having my monitor plugged in? I want one person to be able to watch netflix on the TV while someone else works on the computer, so unplugging the DVI all the time is not really a good option.
To provide a little more info, when I check on "playback devices" it only lists 2: my speakers in the audio jack, and the AMD High definition audio device. But the second one usually lists my monitor rather than the TV, but even if I get it to list the TV (such as by booting up with only the TV plugged in and then plugging in the monitor), I still lose the sound as soon as the DVI cable gets plugged in.
