Gigabyte HDMI output to Yamaha receiver - no sound output
GA-890GPA-UD3H (rev. 3.1)
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-890GPA-UD3H (rev. 3.1)
(Note 3) Simultaneous output for DVI-D and HDMI is not supported.
What I'm trying to do is output just my sound to the receiver via HDMI cable, but still use the DVI to my monitor for video. From the note above taken from the MB specs, sounds like this is not possible.
This is new business to me and wondering how others do this, seems little information I can find. I am ordering a HDMI to DVI cable so I can disconnect the DVI cable from the computer and instead run both video and sound through HDMI to the receiver, then the video to the monitor. Hoping this works.
If all fails then I am relegated to separate digital through S/PDIF optical link, to my receiver. According to the experts this is less than ideal since now, the multi-channel dolby and DTS signals can only be received via HDMI.
Wondering if I get a Blu-ray player for my computer how this is going to all work out. Hoping that HDMI to DVI cable does the trick.
Anyone with experience with this kind of set-up and the aforementioned hardware greatly appreciated.
And Happy NEW YEAR!
