Windows 10: Output via hdmi problems

Basically I'm having issues with connecting my pc to my projector, because the second display settings from my previous connection to a TV are not compatible with the projectors parameters.

My previous settings were to display only on the TV at 1080/120 hz. My projector doesn't support 120hz, so I get a black screen on both monitor and projector.

Why doesn't Windows automatically detect and display at a lower setting? Why doesn't it reset to default when connecting to a new monitor? Any way to fix this aside from connecting to the TV (which is at a different location), changing to display on both pc and TV, and then connecting to projector and changing settings?

I don't believe the driver is the root of my problems.

Continuum on a laptop screen?

The display is via HDMI. The laptop HDMI is output.

 

Microsoft Edge interferes with HDMI audio

I stream TV using a browser and connect to TV via HDMI output. Some resent update eliminated the HDMI audio from the output signal. There was no change in the audio driver and the HDMI audio controls seem unaffected but there is no audio output.

To check on whether it is a Microsoft Edge problem I downloaded and installed the Chrome broswer. The HDMI audio works well streaming under Chrome but not Microsoft Edge.

Is there a fix or workaround for HDMI audio under the latest version of Microsoft Edge?

This is very problematic for videostreaming. Thanks

 

Press the Windows Logo Key *Start + the P key, then up or down arrow and enter. You may have to do it more than once. It should eventually switch to "PC screen only" and get you a working monitor. Then do it again and select Extend, and see if both work, If that works then do it once more and select Second Screen Only.

 

Thank you very much, solved my problem.
