MERGED QUESTION
Question from gunzmaster95jh : "Laptop HDMI Input Settings"
I have an Alienware 17, and occasionally use it as a monitor for consoles such as my ps4. However, the settings for screen brightness and audio settings seem to be different when in HDMI input mode vs when i am using the laptop normally. It wasn't too huge of an issue, just a much dimmer screen and lower audio, but today, while playing KH1.5 on ps4, the sound glitched out (stuttered and then went silent), and i can't seem to get it to come back. Ive tried different hdmi cables, restarted the ps4, restarted windows audio on my laptop, etc. Anyways, is there a way to access the separate settings for while my computer is in HDMI Input mode? I can use some keyboard shortcuts for minor audio and brightness changes, but they don't do a whole lot.
