morphine wrote:This is probably obvious, but have you tried testing with only monitors 1 and 2, then 2 and 3, then 1 and 3, to see if it's one particular monitor interfering?
kamikaziechameleon wrote:Have you tried the 13.2 Betas? Even if you have, they occasionally release new revisions of them so even if you're on 13.2 you might not be running the latest version (somebody correct me but I think they're on release... 2 or 3 by now).Are there new catalyst drivers on the way anytime soon???

EDIT: got a bit hasty now its mute again and off color. hmmm. Based on the fact I can at least display on my 1080p monitor through a receiver in another instance I believe this receiver is junked. there is no reason for the audio not to work even if the TV is displaying off color. Being that I've literally tried every possible combination of cables I vote its the receiver. Annoying thing is the Xbox and PlayStation work perfectly no issue. Any thoughts as to why guys??? :-?
kamikaziechameleon wrote:I honestly don't know. Sorry for the unhelpful response. It seems possible; HDMI and DVI both require a clock generator as part of the equation and it's possible your card doesn't like running two DVI signals (remember, HDMI is based on DVI) at once.So, that being said. addressing my separate issue in the screen flicker when using multiple monitors, would removing the DVI from the equation and going two display port monitors and one HDMI monitor kill the flicker. I've done the driver swap and that didn't resolve anything.

I'd check everything else first -- check cables, check software (drivers and such), reseat the card in the PCIe slot, and so on. Have you tried using a DVI-HDMI cable?A developement is that the pc will occasionally freeze, or atleast the screen wil but if I'm playing music I can use keyboard commands to skip songs and stuff. This is getting strange. I mean yesterday the screen froze and I listened to music for another hour and NOTHING would bring it out of recovery.

I'm annoyed that you can't use the onboard video ports for the integrated GPU when the Discrete GPU is installed. Else I could run the audio off that separate HDMI port and be done with the HDMI on my card.Have you tried using a DVI-HDMI cable?
