Setup issues for pc to projecor

[ithloss8]

ATM i have setup my PC to connect into a Receiver and the Receiver to my projector via HDMI cables. The issue that I'm having is a strange one that I'm sure has a fix to it but ATM its baffling me.. In saying this here are the 2 issues that I'm having

1) with everything plugged in correctly, receiver HDMI is plugged into HDMI 1 socket in projector, i then set projector to HDMI 1 input..PC picture comes up on the screen but i can only get my desktop speakers to work nothing comes out the 5.1 surround.. My receiver doesn't show up in the Audio playback options, nor is it showed in the disconnected/disabled section..

Now this is where it gets weird

2) now with the same setup leaving the projector on HDMI input 1 i physically move the HDMI cable from socket 1 to socket 2 and plug it in...Now i loose the picture on the screen but suddenly the receiver shows up in the Audio playback section and I'm able to set it as default and i can get sound playing through my 5.1 surround setup...but just no picture..

As i said i am baffled and have no idea what to do.. I have updated all my chip-set/audio/graphics and network drivers to the latest versions and nothing makes a difference.. I know its gonna be something simple but i cant work it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers

these are my PC/Projector and Receiver specs thanks

When you right click on your taskbar icon for Sound, and select Playback Devices. Select HDMI audio. Depending on your VC setup, there may be multiple options to select.
I have one of my computers output from HDMI to my Harmon Kardon 2600, out to my VPL-HW40EWS and everything works perfectly. I did have to change my audio output in the control panel I stated earlier, but it all works. I have video going to my projector, and 7.1 surround coming out of the HK. That Sony projector is AWESOME! I love it for gaming. There is literally no input lag what so ever.

One thing I think you should try is to switch the HDMI cables around. Just to isolate that it's not a cable issue somewhere.

Hi there

I've had experience with using an avr with a pc to a tv, hoping for you its just a simple hdmi channel that needs to be selected.

Im basing it on a yamaha rx1800 avr which is similar to yours.

From gpu hdmi to avr on hdmi channel 1

Avr hdmi out to tv

I select hdmi channel on the avr via remote to hdmi 1 that the pc is using.

Avr hdmi out can passthrough all hdmi channels individually depending on selected hdmi input

Windows audio playback devices needs to be changed to amd digital audio and it should have a tv icon coloured and not greyed out indicating a detected connection abling to set as default.

On which icon are you right clicking to get that message?

The highlighted device playback icon you're looking will be similar to this picture;

If you can take a snap shot of your playback devices page would be great

My guess there might be a setting in the avr. If you have a look at page 58 and see if you can adjust something there.

Audio playback devices is picking up the receiver but not passing off the video whether the resolution could be wrong? I'm not sure, its kind of confusing this problem.

just tried that and nothing workd...i have no idea.....this setup used to work but ive moved all the gear around to a different part of the house and now resetting it up its not working lol..i havent got the foggiest of the issue

 

[ithloss8]

im gonna kick myself when this is worked out...its obviously a setting somewhere in the reciever or the pc...but i cant find it

 

[boju]

Sorry phone stuffup with best answer

Thought that came to mind is colour format in gpu properties, wondering if any settings there could make a difference using different format, maybe.

Ill try think of things if i do think of anything else will let ya know. If you find out what it is would like to know

 

[boju]

You can get a picture on the projector so i don't think it has anything to do with colour format, ignore that.

This picture where you get a display but no sound

What happens if you disable the speakers, does anything show up as ready? Or are all related high definition listings with TVs all show as not plugged in?

 

[ithloss8]

ill give that a try now...sry had to duck out lol

 

[ithloss8]

yeha made no difference now i just get no options for audio..and no sound anywhere lol

 

[boju]

Video is working so we know the signal is getting through. What if you plug a tv or monitor from hdmi out, lets see what happens if you get sound then

 

[boju]

Are you using the same hdmi out from your gpu?
