Edit: I’m glad so many of you have had no issues with multiple monitors. My set up is a little unusual (3rd display is an infrequently used large tv hooked through the receiver) and is definitely solveable but will take some effort (and honestly, I’d rather spend my spare time outside or with friends, so who knows when I’ll fix it.)

    I have…

    It’s my fault. I bought a Denon reciever and it’s a gigantic piece of shit that loses signal when switching between VRR and…not VRR.

    So I used two HDMI cables. One connects directly to TV, the other still goes to the reciever for audio. I can’t disable the secondary non existent screen because it’ll also disable HDMI audio…at least with KDE.

    70% of the time I shut off the TV with the PC still on no matter what power settings, the audio dies until I press ctrl+super+F2 to switch to TTY and then F1 to swap back. Idk. It didn’t used to do this but after some CachyOS update it started happening. On Windows I was just fucked and had to reboot, so not any better.

    I blame that piece of shit reciever. At some point I have to eat the loss and return to Yamaha.
