I'd love to make it so I can hear games on one TV while hearing movies on the other TV speakers.. One tv is hooked up via hdmi, the other is hooked up via hdmi->dvi switch. Could I use the hdmi to carry the sound to main screen, whilst using on board sound to carry to other Tv for video(audio)??

ahh, i've a trouble just like this once. i want to play some games while my friend wants to watch movie. and my tv is connected via hdmi to my pc because i use my tv as a 2nd screen most of the time but my tv also has it's own speakers.
the way i did it is using Media Player Classic to stream audio directly to HDMI via AMD HDMI Output and my game application to stream via default soundcard(Onkyo SE-90 in my case).
the only thing i need to do is open the option tab on the Media Player Classic menu wich is View>Options.
in the options menu dropdown look for Playback>Output. there on the bottom there's Audio Renderer dropdown menu.
now you need to have the HDMI cable hooked up on the PC and working properly to make it available at the...

Ok Go

now you need to have the HDMI cable hooked up on the PC and working properly to make it available at the audio renderer menu. Pick your preffered Output (in my case its written as AMD HDMI Output).
after i did all that, when i play movies from Media Player Classic, the audio is routed to HDMI audio leaving my default soundcard free. then i kept on gaming while my friend's pacified and stopped pulling my hair.

Im sure option like that is available on all kinds of media player. the ones i know that has it are Media Player Classic and VLC player. There's also a program called Virtual Audio Cable, but i never has any exp on that. here's the link if you want to try http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
