Is it possible to use one hdmi for display (tv) only, and one other hdmi for audio only (receiver)?

In the past i connected my desktop to the receiver and used an HDMI from the receiver to the tv, but that caused serious mouse lag. Fixed it by plugging the HDMI directly into the tv, obviously not able to use my speakers now. I'm wondering if there's any way to use an extra HDMI to plug into the receiver to do audio only, while another one is connected to the tv, for display only. Or would the simplest, or the only, solution be to run a DAC through the USB port on the pc to the receiver?

There are some BD players that have 2 HDMI output that can be configured that way but I don't think you can do that on a PC. You could use one of these

to provide an optical output for the receiver.
Or you could use an HDMI audio extractor to provide that optical output for the receiver.
