To connect audio-only via HDMI to your receiver with an RTX 3090, you need to enable a display. Currently, this card doesn’t support audio over HDMI unless it’s part of the desktop. However, there’s a workaround using Windows features that let displays connect without appearing in the desktop. This method is similar to how VR headsets operate. It’s worth trying since duplicating the display can cause lag and HDR is disabled when switching inputs. The issue with your "second monitor" is likely due to visibility problems, which can disrupt gameplay and software functionality.
I came across this Microsoft guide about VR headsets and the "Microsoft-defined Vendor Specific Data Block (VSDB)." I tried to understand how to add it using the Custom Resolution Utility, but I'm stuck. Thought maybe removing this data from my Valve Index would help clarify things.
I don’t have any HDMI 2.1 audio splitters in stock. You can check availability on specialized retailers or manufacturers. To test performance, use a monitoring tool and verify latency and HDCP compliance. Ensure the device supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and similar formats for proper pass-through.
