I have a multi-PC switching system. This lets me dock my laptop & use my desktop in the same set-up. I use a USB switch for keyboard & mouse and a Sony STRDH550 receiver for audio & video. It all worked great until today, when I upgraded from 1080p to a new 2560x1440 monitor. My computer sees the receiver as the video output device & won't allow me to select any resolutions above 1080p. Here are my questions:
Is there some way to use DisplayPort for video out and HDMI for audio out? This would only address the issue on my desktop, but that may be good enough. I have GTX 1060 graphics.
Would a newer receiver that supports later HDMI standards resolve this? If so, what are some cheaper models that would work?
Why doesn't anyone make receivers that support DisplayPort? I'd think there'd be demand in the high end PC audio sector.
Is there some way of splitting the audio from a DisplayPort signal & running the video to the monitor & audio to the receiver. This would probably be the most cost-effective solutions without a bunch of compromises.
