    Hello i have been playing around with the hdmi IN function on my mx17 r3..

    I got Hdmi in working great for video( it worked as soon as i pluged the hdmi cable in)

    but the problem i'm having is i cannot get the sound to work with my pc headset.. i go into windows and set the Wireless headphones as the default device and I confirm this is working by testing some windows sounds while i'm in there.

    But once i turn on my ps3 and the display switches from windows interface to the ps3 interface the sound reverts to the onboard speakers and my headphones will not work for sound anymore.. but once i close down my ps3 and the screen switches back to windows interface the head phones work again?

    my question is

    Is it even possible to have the sound output for Hdmi in go to my pc headphones.

    have you tried reverting back to previous drivers?
