Dual Monitors help - Lagistic - Dec 11, 2014

Basically what I want done is to have a game be full screen on my other monitor and to have my web browser on the other monitor. The problem I am facing is whenever I have my game full screen and I click off to the other monitor, the game goes into windowed mode and the sound will cut out. Any way to work around this?

The sound issue is game dependant, so it doesn't work with every games, but for the other issue, you can play in "windowed" mode, and re-size the game window so it covers your whole screen. Otherwise, nothing else you can do really.

No problem. Sometimes, the sound will stay and play in the background, depending of how you remove the focus from the window (game), but most of the time, when you focus another window, the sound will stop.
