📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a Windows multi-monitor setup where extending displays causes dragged windows to automatically move onto the second display, preventing the user from using the second screen only for sound. The main question is how to disable the “window moves to extended display” behavior while still keeping the audio output routing, with discussion around whether an audio splitter (instead of using the second display) could solve the problem. Overall sentiment is helpful and practical, with contributors aiming to clarify the distinction between display extension and audio routing (and suggesting alternatives to using the second monitor as part of the display layout).

I currently have my video card also connecting to my receiver which connects to my flat screen. I extend my displays and normally I use it just for sound. Occasionally I use it for the picture as well...

When extended displays is disabled I can drag windows to left and right and duel split the windows, but when it is enabled and I drag to the left it just puts it on the extended display. Is there anyway to disable that? I still want it to just do the split window and not put it on the 2nd display basically since I am only using the 2nd display for sound.

I thought about buying a "Y" Audio Splitter Cable 6' - 3.5mm Stereo Mini to Dual RCA Male, since I wouldn't even have to use the 2nd display that way but I am wondering if its possible anyway.

Thank you in advance your your time and knowledge.
