Question Vid card outputs full, I need one more HDMI out from PC to go to a second AVR for PC 5.1 sound anyone know of any options?

[gerrydog65]

I have 3 pc monitors and one tv connected to my RTX 2070 super, outputs full
The TV HDMI goes to one AVR, Denon960H for the home theater room
I need one more HDMI out from PC to go to a second AVR, Onkyo TX-SR 383 for the PC room 5.1 sound anyone know of any options?
Thank you

Will spdf output do the job? That'd be my first guess. Other than splitting an HDMI output, your not gonna create any more to use

Thanks Mr Geek Sir
I tried spdf but couldn't get it to work.
Would an HDMI splitter degrade the signal? So much I don't know.....

Does HDMI splitter reduce quality or cause input lag?

My monitor has two native HDMI ports and I use one for my computer and the other one for my Xbox. I also have a Playstation and was wanting to hook that up as well using an HDMI splitter. If I use the HDMI splitter and switch between Xbox and Playstation, will there be any input lag or reduce of...

That I do not know. I've never used one for more than basic desktop duplication. How they do with more data I don't know.

A review or 2 would help learn a bit more about them

So I purchased Monoprice Blackbird 4K 1x2 HDMI Amplifier Splitter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCGKAAK?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

Using the splitter in copy mode
It will only show in PC sound when one is connected at a time
HDMI vid card PC>splitter>AVR yes win sound shows and works
HDMI vid card PC>splitter>AVR1 and AVR2 no win sound only shows 1 AVR
when I connect both AVR's win sound only detects one AVR to choose
Is this the right product? Is there Something I'm missing? Went through win system sound didn't help
Monoprice says it's detective, but I don't have total confidence in the service rep who handled the call. I will non the less return and try again.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and help!!!!

Both of those receivers don't only have HDMI inputs, they each also have at least one pass-through HDMI output. What happens when you connect the Onkyo through the Denon? Or if it's more convenient, the Denon through the Onkyo?

Denon says no way on passing to another AVR
Thanks BFG-9000 for sharing the Idea!!!!

Going to try a different splitter, Simplified MFG SP12S
Crutchfield says it should spilt PC HDMI>to both AVRs in Dolby True HD, Atmos ect etc formats.

 

[gerrydog65]

Getting closer
AVRs will not be used simultaneously.
I have purchased Simplified MFG SP12S spliter but Windows only recognizes AVR plugged into HDMI 1 on the splitter, I have to switch HDMI cables for Windows to see the 2nd AVR
Anyone?
Thanks in advance of your thoughts
