So my Video and Audio is going to a Receiver in another room via an HDMI cable. But I want to downmix for the room the computer is in. This same scenario would be identical if a person wanted a headphone setup.
I've investigated a few options.
1) Current solution: There is a monitor in the room that also receives HDMI from the same source (They are bi-connected, or connected in series). The monitor has a 2.5mm audio out.
a) The issue here is. If the computer is set to Multi-Channel and if the source is decoded on the computer. The speakers in the room, do not hear the 'Center' voice channel, is the primary concern.
2) I had one of those 'HDMI extractors' for a minute. I ended up returning it. I blew a cap in it. It was cheap. The kind that has a channel switch - '2, 5.1, or pass.'. I also thought I didn't need it. Thinking that the TV would downmix it itself. I was wrong. Is this the only viable solution?
3) Another solution is to use some software solution. Although I haven't figured out one yet. An opposing solution that I've seen is stuff like: 'VoiceMeeter' But this does not seem to work in my case, because the audio needs to come from the NVidia HDMI not the Realtek panel.
a) In order for this to work. I need audio to go out in real-time to two different sources. 1) 5.1 to my graphics card via HDMI 2) The 'Realtek' on-board audio card. - But the original source needs to be the HDMI, and then passed back into the Realtek with almost 0 latency.
b) I couldn't figure out how to get native 'Stereo Mix' nor 'Voice-Meeter' to do it. Is there another program? I believe they are designed to go the other way.
