Cannot run fullscreen applications with lower than native resolution with HDMI

[LSilv18]

New computer, and I'm having three days of head ache on this intel graphics 4600 control panel to put my rig to output on HDMI Home Theater.

First I connect the cable. The notebook lowers it's resolution to something like 1200x???. The TV is off. Right click desktop and put it back to the right resolution (1920x1080).

Good.

- Now I Switch to duplicate mode, and mark the integrated screen as the primary.

- Then I check the "Videoless audio" option in Intel's control panel for the HomeTheater HTX70 device it easily detected and identified.

Me: Good. Now let's play a low resolution game.

Intel: No. You won't !

Me: But I choose no video output. Only Audio !

Intel: I Don't care for you !

Ok, let's set it to computer screen only.

Result: No audio output on the Home Theater, whether the sample game worked.

Let's put the clone mode back and turn on the TV (not that I want the TV in first place) !

Voila ! Both worked.

Wait... What are these stupid black strip on every side of the screen !?

Ok... let's re-scale to fit fullscreen.

Where is this option on the intel's control panel ?

NO F*** WHERE !

Now you want the Gold information ?

THE GAME WORKED YESTERDAY !

LET ME MAKE CLEAR HOW IT WORKED: AUDIO ON THE HOME THEATER, TV OFF, MONITOR ON, AND NO STRIPS.

Would intel kindly explain How do I set things back to work ?

Better yet: implement a decent control panel, and a decent scaling algorithm.

Because my game should NOT be seeing that there's a TV connected, as the Integrated Screen is selected as primary on the Contr. Pan !

And specially, because there isn't even image output for it to consern about !

None of this crap used to happen on my nVidia computer !
