[QUOTE="gibman, post: 975791, member: 25430"] hi Micha! When your splitter is working (connected to output devices.) what monitor driver do you have listed in device manager under monitors ? if you have "generic monitor"... then try and download moninfo, create a INF monitor driver by connecting only one device to the output of the splitter (eg. the main TV). then update driver to this newly created info. now try connect to the htpc using teamviewer. open device manager, and look at monitor devices attached. try and turn off TV, while splitter is on. Does the device manager reflect this change, by removing the monitor device in the list ? if no (good).. then try instead and extend this test by keeping TV on, then instead turn off splitter. Does device manager now reflect this change, by removing the monitor device in the list ? Generally I have very good succes with just using the moninfo generated INF monitor driver trick for keeping the HDMI connection to the TV alive even if I turn TV on/off. Tried it on ATI HD6xxx + HD5xxx series cards. This is using just a standard hdmi cable. btw. Instead of a 2way splitter, you could try and clone your displays using the gfx driver :) Matters are different with AVR though :( When I try and keep the HDMI signal alive for the AVR, which is connected through HDMI, then I see big problems. Turning off the AVR will remove the AVR from device manager, also I will lose the HDMI audio device as seen under control panel => sound. Applying the basic pin19 trick will keep HDMI alive, regardless of me turning on/off the AVR, this is until I resume from S3, then it wont re-detect it. which remindes me... about your splitter and detecting it's failure in re-detecting a HDMI connection. Try this: After you have just resumed and concluded that it hasn't connected to your splitter, then try and connect to htpc using teamviewer. Then enter device manager, click on your root entry, then select "scan for hardware changes". (the same can be done with a "devcon -rescan" on resume.) you can find devcon.exe on google :) I use the tool hibernatetrigger to call a batch file containing this devcon cmdline onresume. It might do the trick. If "scan for hardware changes" works in device manager, then you would could take the step and use devcon. HDMI = something the devil invented !!! /gibman [/QUOTE]
