    Hey all been a minute..Anyway I just updated my setup and added a 3rd monitor to my rig..50" samsung plasma...I'm driving it off HDMI. It's awesome. My main monitor, see sig, is driven off displayport.

    When I turn my TV on, is there anyway I can setup it so it automatically switches over to HDMI audio device, in this case my TV?

    Normally I have to open up Sound in the control panel and select HDMI as default manually every time I use the TV..and then I have to go back in and select my desktop speakers when I switch back. It's kinda a pain. Looking for a way to automate the process. I wish ATI's HDMI driver had some options for configuration.

    Anyway know of anything?
