I am wanting to repurpose an old monitor of my nieces that stopped functioning properly. The problem the monitor is having is, when you turn it on, the indicator LED turns green and it will display the company logo "ACER" for about half a second before going black. Still with a green LED, after about 2-3 seconds of darkness, it displays a grey rectangle in the center of the screen for what seems like 1/16th of a second before returning to black and the indicator LED changing from green to amber. Pressing the power button at this point will repeat above. By repeating this process about a dozen or more times, the grey box has nothing written in it. (it goes by so quickly I had to watch for it a few times to be sure) Monitor Menu buttons do not display anything on monitor. Changed DVI cables. Changes power cables. Signal is coming from my DVI/HDMI sources (do not have a VGA source to see if it will accept that signal) tried HDMI-DVI converter Opened the back of it thinking maybe bad capacitors, but cannot find any leaky or bulging caps. Tried it on Raspberry Pi / 3 PC's / X-Box 360 (thought maybe the different resolutions and display output types may trigger something in the monitor.. I had a HDMI capture card that wouldn't be recognized by my graphics card as a monitor, but captured the X-Box fine. long story short. something was wrong with the capture cards HDMI and thought it couldn't hurt to try the idea on this monitor). Hopefully someone has an idea.. that will send me in the right direction. Because I'm all out of them.

BobVonBon.. That solution works great for splitting mic audio to a the second pc, which is what I have done... also, my default device has to be my HDMI which is split using voicemeeter to another HDMI. 'Listen to this device' feature which is what that solution is uses a microphone input and a pipes it to a single output. I require the audio from Discord/Skype/Teamspeak..Etc. to split to two outputs. Voicemeeter does do this but I cannot have a second instance running, since it is already splitting the HDMI signal. Is there a way to get 'Listen to this device" to appear for 'playback' and not 'recording' devices only? If there is, that could be the solution.

I am wondering if anyone can help me with a solution to this problem. I have a gaming PC and a streaming PC, I want to keep my communication software on my gaming PC and send it to my streaming pc via a usb sound card, but at the same time I need that same audio to come through my USB headset.. I already use Voicemeeter to split the game/ HDMI audio to my receiver and to my capture card, and I use the "Listen To Device" feature in windows to pipe the audio from my microphone to the streaming PC requiring me to find a 3rd solution to split the voice chat to two devices. Does anyone know of a possible solution to this problem that I may be able to implement?
