Windows 10: Audio Issues Switching Between HDMI Inputs

Having problems with audio when switching between HDMI Inputs. Have tried updating drivers, changing output devices, windows audio restart, switching which HDMI they are on, changed HDMI cords etc. NOTHING works. We have a PC in HDMI 3 and a PS4 in HDMI 2. HDMI 2 always works fine. However, when switching back to the PC, we MUST restart the PC when we switch inputs back to it in order to receive audio.

We also have the issue if we turn off the display and leave the pc running. We must restart the entire computer before we receive audio in the PC input. We are assuming this is a windows issue of some sort because we don't have the issue with the PS4 input. Only when we are on the PC.

We have never had these issues before under the same setup for a few years now. Issues arose on their own in the past few months,

Any suggestions?

HDMI Switches - Video card issue


Never had any issues with audio, as its routed seperately through the AVR (coax, optical etc). The legacy AVR I have (a wonderful Harmon Kardon beast) does not have any HDMI input or outputs, so the video goes direct to the display ( and now hopefully via a switch)

As to the issue at hand, I am assuming a different make switch isn't going to solve the problem. I am hoping I can disable something on the video card.

I suppose there are some other pricey solutions, like get a new modern AVR and let it do the HDMI switching..... but I don't want to put a beautiful HK out to pasture or set it up in another room where it would be overkill. It might however be the only option.

Another option is a new PC or Kodi box...but I would still need the same switch, so no guaranty that would work

And a new projector, with multiple inputs, is not going to happen.
