  1. how to display only on monitor 1 and sound output on monitor 2?


    I think windows fully support dolby home theater and I bough a speaker that support dolby. But it only works on dolby by connecting hdmi and identify as a monitor.If I choose display only on my real monitor, the speaker isn't on the list of sound output devices.

    Change monitor 2 to monitor 1 and make it stay.

    The computer I am using is setup to run a presentation software, presenting to two large HD Tvs. The main control monitor is set as number 2, while the display monitors are set to number 1. The problem happens because the displays are running into a HDMI
    splitter. The power of this is connected to a light switch that is used to power the sound equipment. When working with just the control monitor everything is fine, but when the sound system is powered on, I loose display to my control monitor. To fix this,
    I need to turn on the mini display monitor next to the control, and then display comes back to control. I have switched the output cords on the graphics card numerous times, and windows automatically switches them back. I need the control monitor to become
    monitor 1 so that once the sound equipment is turned on it doesn't mess up my display. I have set screen 2 as my main display, its just that when monitor 1 comes on windows wants to put it on that..
