Setting the table: I have an AMD R7 240 video card with 4 gigs of memory. It has two DVI and one HDMI output. If I connect my monitor (Dell P2715Q) directly with an HDMI cable it functions fine.

The problem: If I run the HDMI output to my Yamaha RX-V373 receiver, then an HDMI line from it to my monitor, I get no video from the computer. If I change a setting on the receiver, that change shows up on the monitor. Just nothing from the computer.

What I have done: I verified my cables are good by changing them out. All cables are marked High Speed, and worked fine with my previous video card.

My questions: What am I doing wrong? Would a good workaround be to feed video via one of the DVI ports to the monitor, and use an HDMI cable to the receiver for sound only?

Any suggestions or cures will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks very much.

suggests something in your chain doesnt like the resolution or refresh rate. If you plug the HDMI directly into the monitor, if it works then its your receiver.

What is you current desktop resolution and refresh rate?

Try 1080p 60hz and get back to me

Actually, I resolved the issue. The card I have has the HDMI socket offset in a manner that makes the cable an awkward fit on my computer. Some "finessing" got it to seat completely and the issue is resolved.
