Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

So I have a new 27ea monitor and I'd like to configure my rig for seamless switching between headphones and built-in monitor speakes.

 

I have Razer Tiamat 7.1v2 headphones which have an audio output jack for external audio devices. They also have a button to switch audio signal between headphones themselves and external device.  It works fine with additional headphones or speakers, but when I connect 27ea to this jack using audio cable, no sound comes out of monitor speakers. 

 

Moinitor is connected to the computer with HDMI cable and plays sounds via HDMI just fine. But switching audio output inside OS from soundcard to HDMI monitor does not work for all applications, some require restart to recognize the change. It is also not as cool as just pressing one button on headphone's audio control unit.

 

Monitor's audio-in however doesn't seem to work. Can I make it work, or does monitor just turn audio-in off when connected by HDMI?
