I have been dealing with this issue for two days now and I'm going insane.
My PC (i7 3370K, AMD XFX RX 580 8GB) is connected via HDMI to my Sony receiver (STR-DG720) for 7.1 surround sound and my LG 4K TV (43UM6910PUA) via HDMI for picture.
The reason why there are two HDMI connections is because the receiver is older and does not support HDR.
Now, this setup has worked flawlessly for a while now. However, starting yesterday I turned everything on to play a game, but the receiver was not playing surround sound. I also no longer had the option to change from stereo in the Windows settings.
I have uninstalled the GPU multiple times (at one point the top PCI x16 slot did not work, but the 8x did, where it's currently installed) and I reinstalled multiple drivers, including the BIOS.
Somehow, some way, things were fixed. I put the GPU back into the x16 slot and everything still worked, so I finally played a game with no issues.
I turned the everything off, went to bed and now everything is happening all over again. It's been 3 hours today, with endless searching and no avail.
I could try optical from the PC to the receiver, or even optical from the TV to the receiver (which works), but it would only be in Dolby Pro Logic II at that point.
I have no idea how to fix this and any help will be greatly appreciated.
