When I plug in my HDMI Splitter my Audio stops working
I'm trying to get my Left Monitor (Thats on my Desk) to duplicate on to my 70" TV so I can Watch Twitch and Play Games on it, and have a Monitor thats not being Split on my Desk. When I plug in Just the Splitter, My TV, And my Monitor That I want to Duplicate, the Audio is fine, But right when I plug in my Monitor into a Seperate HDMI port (Thats on the GPU) The 70" TV says that its not plugged in on the Playback Options

I'm trying to use my Left Monitor thats being Split into two and my right Monitor to be the regular one that I use on my Desk Thats normal and not being Split

Reboot the PC. Don't hot plug HDMI on PC and expect Audio to keep working.

Maybe it's designed to cut off the audio cuz the cable can't spare the bandwidth? A proper HDMI switch doesn't have such problems.

I have 2 Monitors and I'm trying to Mirror the Left one on to my TV, I get the Mirroring done (Without my Right monitor) and the Audio is fine, But right when I plug in my Right Monitor (The one that I want to be normal) The Audio stops working on my TV

There it is a little bit more simple just incase anyone gets confused

Yea avoid splitters; if your GPU only has one HDMI and you need more; get a DisplayPort to HDMI cable. DisplayPort does Surround Audio as well just like HDMI.

I found out how to get the Audio working, But the Monitor on my Desk is really bad resolution. I guess thats fine for now until I find out what im gonna do, Could I get a Audio Jack and Plug it into my TV and my PC? if not could I just get a HDMI HUB?

I fixed it! Resolution was bad because for some reason in the Display Settings the Text Size/Whatever that scale thing is was zoomed in

Hubs are just switches; you can only have one Display active at any given time with those.
Those are more for say, switching between Console and PC, while using just a single display / port.

Overall if you want to have multiple displays active at the same time on PC; have them all use their own cable. Then output the audio to the best device as you see fit.

Even with say PC using HDMI Out to an HDTV, you are not forced to use the HDMI Audio; you can use say 3.5mm to RCA male to male cable and go from your Motherboard Audio or Sound Card, do the TV or other device that way. As HDMI audio is generally lacking when it comes to options it has, such as equalizer and such. Then in Windows, you select which audio device is active.

i had connected my PC to an aiwa component system. i used 3.5mm audio cable (connected to audio out) + adaptor plug to connect to the aiwa (audio in) for the "surround sound effect".
maybe you can connect your PC and TV this way too.
