I wasn't sure which forum to post this in.
I have audio going from my graphics cards HDMI out to my A/V receiver. To get this to work in Windows 7 my AVR is detected as a display so I've had to extend that display even though I only have one actual monitor. My monitor is connected to the graphics card by display port (I don't use HDMI because it limits the refresh rate to 30Hz @ 2160p).
When I watch some videos online and when I play games I will get screen tearing despite v-sync being on. The image has other lines that shouldn't be there and generally doesn't look right.
As soon as I turn my AVR off and my PC goes back to just using one display, all the screen tearing and graphical errors go away and the game/video looks perfect.
Something about extending the displays is causing a problem. I noticed that the AVR was set to 2160p 30Hz so I changed it to 1080p 60Hz so that the refresh rate of both displays would be the same but that didn't help.
Is there a way of getting just audio over HDMI from a graphics card (or sound card) without having to treat it as another display device?
Maybe there is something I can change in the Nvidia control panel?
Perhaps this works better on Windows 10?
