    hullo...

    okay. i have a dual screen setup (HDMI TV + monitor), running off a NVIDIA GTX 660.

    TV: from the HDMI port on the 660, into a receiver and out to the TV
    monitor: from the DVI-D port on the 660, into the monitor HDMI

    sound card audio: optical out into optical in on the receiver.

    the thing i am wondering is why, when i am using the optical for audio and turn off the TV, does the monitor turn off as well? i thought that since the audio is separate then the monitor would stay on. if i switch the monitor's cable from DVI-D -> HDMI to DVI-D -> DVI-D, will that help?

    pardon the bit confusion...
