x-post from Encrypt All Things, but the current Humble Bundle includes DisplayFusion. This is great if you game PC + TV (or have multiple monitors)
So I bought the bundle but for DisplayFusion. I have 2 monitors + TV connected. Steam big picture gets confused, and even if my audio moves over to amp Windows resets it to 2.1.
Set up two monitor profiles with DF, and the wrote some script in it to auto switch to "gaming" profile (TV only), disable other monitors, switch audio, run a regedit script to make SURE the audio is configured 5.1 , run Steam Big Picture. When you leave Steam, it switches TV off, back to monitors and minimizes Steam. It's all bound to key combinations as well, not yet managed to get the PS button on DS4 to register with Windows, but eventually.
Only gotcha, during DX12 games steam big picture crashes in the background. Games carry on fine. No clue.
I really wish Windows would stop renaming my amp/tv devices. It seems almost every time after reboot I have a new "device" for audio output that's set to Stereo. Even though it has the same registry key (well most times, I have 3 for the same TV now).
Also UAC kicks in on the registry load, I know I can turn UAC off but I'd rather not do that.
