I have connected my pc to my Yamaha V675 receiver, and the receiver to my tv. Both connections are hdmi. I get fine sound from the receiver when I play music on the computer, but the video is another story. The only video that shows up on my tv is the wall paper on my computer. Previously, when I ran hdmi directly from my computer to my tv, the tv mirrored every thing I had on the monitor. Now, I just get wall paper. Is there some setting I should change?

I just solved my own problem. What I needed to do was to go to the dashboard for my Graphics board and clone one of my monitors (in this case the tv) to the other. I did this by right clicking the icon of the monitor I wanted to become a clone. I use Windows 8.2. Now whatever is on my desktop monitor also appears on my tv--that is when my receiver is set up to receive the hdmi coming from my computer.

I hope this is useful to others.
