I primarily use kodi, so everything works well after playing with the settings.Ĭlick to expand.Why don't you have HDMI -> Receiver -> TV? Does that receiver not support 1920x1200? This is one of the reasons why receivers have the HDMI pass-through. I just dont like the mouse moving over to the dead screen. When I switch away from the pc hdmi, the extended screen turns off, and the pc switches to the optical cable for audio. I switch between optical, and hdmi audio by changing the input on the receiver (using the remote), so it works well. I also use a spdif output from the motherboard going to the receiver. This works with the 1920x1200 display, but the mouse does disappear I am using the 1920x1200 screen as my main display, and using the yamaha reciever as an extended display. Right now I have dvi from video going to my 1920x1200 screen, and the hdmi from video card to a yamaha 6090 reciever, with nothing connnected to the hdmi output on the 6090. If both screens were 1080, cloning would work perfect. If using clone, I lose the extra resolution. My Pc (amd hd 6750 gpu) will only clone 1920x1080. It's worth a google search though if it annoys you that much.Ĭloning is a good solution. You may try to find a utility or something that makes it so your mouse pointer is confined to a certain desktop/area, but not sure if one exists as I've never looked for such a thing. Unfortunately you're going to have to live with it. So even if you could, going to 1x1 would not be a good idea. Note also that if you're using multi-PCM if you give the receiver too low a resolution (for example an SD resolution like 480 which probably is supported by the receiver) then you will end up limiting the audio bandwidth because it's using a lower HDMI clock speed which probably can't support higher bitrate audio-a symptom of this is having only 5.1 audio instead of 7.1 or only stereo instead of multi-PCM available. What happens is your GPU puts that inside an output resolution (a "wrapper" if you like) of a common consumer-electronics-supported resolution (i.e. Keep in mind that when you select 800圆00, your AVR more than likely does no accept such a resolution. If you disable it as a "display" it disables it as a device, period.Ĭlick to expand.LOL 1x1, jokes. This is essentially the nature of HDMI-even "audio" devices are still video devices. Despite the fact that no actual display is connected to the AVR, it still must receive video in the TMDS signal (if you were to connect your TV and switch to the receiver's output you'd see the image is indeed there). Because the audio device (your AVR) is considered a "display" as it has an EDID like any other HDMI device. That way if you don't see the mouse pointer you can tap CTRL and then see where it is on the screen if it's nowhere you know it's on the secondary and just swipe your mouse in the appropriate direction. You can also do what I do on my HTPC and enable the control key to show a momentary circle around the mouse pointer when you tap it. What you can do is put the secondary monitor in a different position (like on the top or bottom instead of left or right) to minimize the chance of losing the mouse pointer on the "secondary display". If you disable it as a "display" it disables it as a device, period.
