Hi all, I have had a very frustrating afternoon trying to pass my computer's audio/video signal through my AVR so I can preserve the 5.1 audio.
Right now I have my PC connected to the receiver's HDMI input, then an HDMI running from the receiver's monitor out to the TV. Now, when I access the receiver's menu, it displays on the TV just fine. But my computer does not seem to recognize any new display or audio outputs when plugged in to the receiver. I have actually tried this with two PCs, both running windows 10. Ones is a desktop with a GTX 970, the other a laptop with intel integrated.
In the past I just had all the audio/video running to the TV from the desktop via HDMI, then the audio running from the TV to the receiver via optical. But now I have installed surround sound speakers and as far as I know, running HDMI from PC --> receiver --> TV is the only way to preserve the 5.1 audio.
I cannot seem to find any solutions online for this specific issue. please help!
