Guys, I'm really lost right now trying to solve an issue, already burned my fuse for hours and really don't have a clue anymore. Do you think you could help me?
Here's the issue:
I have movies on my PC that I wanna watch on HDR 4K, while still having HD audio as well. My receiver is an old one, (DENON 3310Ci, so no HDR nor 4K), so the "HDMI out" port is a no go, because I wouldn't even get 4K resolution.
What did I do then? 1 - I connected a HDMI cable from my GPU's HDMI 1 port to my HDR 4k TV input.
2 - Connected another HDMI cable from my GPU's HDMI 2 port to my receiver input.
3 - Used a video player program configured to send pass-through audio via HDMI.
It all worked fine on my old TV and with a workaround on the new one.
However, suddenly that stopped working. When I replaced the older TV with this new one, it still worked, but for some reason I had to disconnect the "HDMI out" cable from my receiver to be able to get any audio at all. Now I can't even do that anymore, because if I disconnect the "HDMI out" cable, my PC stops recognizing the receiver (even though the "HDMI in" is connected to it).
And once my PC doesn't recognize the receiver, I obviously can't set such receiver as the audio output device.
Any thoughts that could help me? I'm pretty frustrated with this.
