Windows 10: About the using of HDMI as audio output

Hi


I'm using my Geforce GTX 1080 to output audio through HDMI to a amplifier Onkyo TX-NR686. But that amplifier doesn't allow the use of FreeSync and Nvidia neither allows it in HDMI so I've connected my TV through Display Port and used HDMI throug the amplifier for audio. The problem comes in the system asking to use HDMI for video in order of being able to select it as audio device.


I solved it "extending" my desktop and having the ghost TV of the amplifier in the upper-right position of my desktop to disabling the mouse travelling between desktops. I put the Amplifier in 480p to reduce VRAM usage but I think it would be better to being able to disable the video at all but maintaining the HDMI usage for audio.


Is there a way to do that?


Thanks

:)

One possible reason why your HDMI audio output was not working due to outdated drivers. To isolate your issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
• Did you get any error messages when you tried to connect your computer to your TV?
• Have you tried updating your HDMI audio driver?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We're looking forward to your response.

If you had read the web page
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/no-hdmi-audio-output/7b5b4084-5e0e-4c52-befb-1564ca2fe57e, you would not have suggested the Realtek website for finding the driver. If you want more
information, you will be able to read the web pages from above. The software tool named audio10 does not work. It cannot be started. The issue is: “How do I get Realtek HDMI Output in the device manager?” This would really solve the problem.
