Thanks Aaron. Yeah, I might have not said that correctly. My receiver doesn’t support passing of HDMI while in standby, needs power. The real problem here is simplifying turning on the AVR to use with the HTPC. I have taught the wife to go to the audio devices and change to toslink so I was hoping all I needed to do now was show her to use the 2nd hdmi.
I am avoiding switches. I guess I can turn on the receiver everytime, but then I would have to show how to select passthrough or AVR audio in the AVR.
I would also avoid port dups. This just seems to cause bugs.
Back to the AMD Radeon graphics card with two HDMI ports. Will both ports have support audio and will I be able to select audio on one port and video on the other. I really wish mce supported dual audio streams, but I’ve read too many articles on why mce can’t after mce2k5.
Thanks!
