However, I have a strange problem, one that probably doesn't fit the normal use case:
I'm a big ambient music nerd, so I picked up two of Robert Rich's "Sleep Concerts" on a Blu-Ray disc. There's a menu to select which 8 hour "album" you want... and then a black screen with audio for that album. Here's the page for it for those interested: https://robertrich.bandcamp.com/album/perpetual
So I thought I could just put it on, and turn off my monitor and have it playing in my room... however, shortly after turning the monitor off, the music stopped due to an error where PowerDVD couldn't establish HDCP because the montior connecteded to my graphics card... turned off.
This makes sense, this is in fact the way that should go, and the DRM is working, and I'm not at all asking "how do I disable DRM?", but on the same hand: is there a way to have the audio keep playing without my monitor? I know the Intel chip I have should have a basic graphics hardware built in, is there a way to shift the "workload" for a black screen to that?
