Description wafixa5827 2023-09-01 07:10:24 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a receiver connected via HDMI that I use for audio output from my PC. I don't wish it to show as a screen though because I do not use it that way. In the display configuration I can move the device to the side of my monitor but then sometimes windows open on the non visible screen and I can't snap my mouse to the edge of the screen because it is extending the screen area beyond my monitor. If I have the receiver "display" overlap my monitor it breaks maximizing of windows.

Disabling the device in display configuration prevents audio output to the device. So I'm hoping for a way to have the device enabled, but ignored as a screen display.

Definitely related. However in my case the receiver actually is capable of being a 1080p display device too. I can output both video and audio to it, I just choose to only output audio.

Actually never mind. I see now it really is basically the same issue.
