Because the audio device (your AVR) is considered a "display" as it has an EDID like any other HDMI device. That way if you don't see the mouse pointer you can tap CTRL and then see where it is on the screen if it's nowhere you know it's on the secondary and just swipe your mouse in the appropriate direction. You can also do what I do on my HTPC and enable the control key to show a momentary circle around the mouse pointer when you tap it. What you can do is put the secondary monitor in a different position (like on the top or bottom instead of left or right) to minimize the chance of losing the mouse pointer on the "secondary display". If you disable it as a "display" it disables it as a device, period. This is essentially the nature of HDMI-even "audio" devices are still video devices. Despite the fact that no actual display is connected to the AVR, it still must receive video in the TMDS signal (if you were to connect your TV and switch to the receiver's output you'd see the image is indeed there).
