HDMI Splitter Issue
I bought a 2 port Inland HDMI splitter (1 in and 2 out).

So, the source for the video and audio is my desktop computer. The output goes to two TV screens (a 50in and a 32in TV screen). I want audio only one of the TV's.

I am familiar with the problem most people had where they are unable to get audio at all.

So I followed the steps to get the audio to work on the 50in TV. So, I have video on both TV's and audio on the 50in TV. This is exactly how I wanted it to work.

But when i turned the TV's OFF and turn them back on, now the audio is gone. I still get the video displayed on both screens, but no audio. So I have to go back and dismantling the connections on the splitter, to get the audio back.

What am I doing wrong here? Why would the audio disappear when I turned TV's on, but it was working before?
 
I am surprised you got audio to go to only one TV at all.
I would suggest that audio should go to both TV as that is how the Inland HDMI distribution amp would normally work. Then turn the volume down or the speakers off on the 32" TV.
 
Thanks for the reply; after 24hrs of not getting any reply, I thought this site was completely abandoned.

I was able to get audio on both TV's finally. So now I turn off the volume on the 32in TV so I can get audio only from the 50in.

But that is not my primary problem. My primary problem is, when I turn the TV's off and turn them back on, there is no audio at all. To bring the audio back, I have to disconnect the splitter, reconnect again. Clearly this is not how it is supposed to work.

So my primary problem is still not resolved.

The audio disappears either when I turn the TV's off or when my desktop computer (the source) is turned off and turned back on.

How do i resolve that?
