2 Monitor display issue using HDMI

.E_C_K_S.

Hi there,

I have a PC with the following GPU and Motherboard:
http://www.hardwareversand.de//2048+MB/125795/Gigabyte+Radeon+R9+270+WindForce+2X+OC%2C+2GB+GDDR5.article

http://www.hardwareversand.de//DDR3/169027/ASRock+H97M+Pro4%2C+Sockel+1150%2C+mATX.article

Both have a HMDI port. I connect my PC monitor to my GPU using a HMDI cable and all is fine.

However, I tried to connect my TV to the computer using the HDMI port on the motherboard and it will not pick up a signal.

Is it not possible to run both monitors this way? I use headphones for my PC monitor but I need sound to come through the TV (for watching DVDs etc)

Does anyone have any ideas? Hopefully its only something small I'm missing or not spotting. Thanks Guys

Use the two DVI sockets on the back of your GPU!
Then go to your Control Panel,
select "Display"
select "Change Display Settings"
choose the appropriate resolution for your TV (Monitor 2) AND apply

Only have 1 HDMI on GPU I'm afraid!

This is how it is for each device:

GPU:
1. HDMI
2. DVI-I
3. DVI-D
4. Display nPort

Mobo:
1. HDMI
2. DVI-D
3. VGA (15 pin)
4. Bunch of Audio options

TV:
1. 2 X HDMI
2. HDMI/DVI
3. Yellow/White/Red/Green/Blue options
4. VGA

PC Monitor:
1. HDMI
2. DVI-D
3. VGA

Got it working there initially but it kind of struggled then after two minutes and I had to restart the computer. No sound was being emitted from the TV either.

To be honest, I think it is just a case of trial and error at this stage. Thanks for your help!

Your Gpu has two Dvi outputs.
Use dvi-d socket to your monitor and the other dvi-I socket for your tv.
