NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 - xrandr always sees HDMI disconnected

I have a desktop PC running Arch Linux and my issue is that xrandr always reports the HDMI as disconnected,
when it's actually connected to the TV.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the card (the HDMI output worked under Windows).

From lspci:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 660] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)

Output of xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2048 x 1152, maximum 16384 x 16384
DVI-I-0 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-D-0 connected 2048x1152+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
   2048x1152     59.91*+
   1680x1050     59.95  
   1440x900      59.89  
   1280x1024     60.02  
   1280x960      60.00  
   1280x800      59.81  
   1024x768      60.00  
   800x600       60.32    56.25  
   640x480       59.94  
DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

And the output remains the same whether or not the HDMI is disconnected.
I've tried using nouveau and the binary NVIDIA driver, I experience the same issue with both.

I've tried booting with HDMI plugged in and the TV set to the correct input, no difference.
I've tried booting with only the TV plugged in (no desktop monitor on DVI), that also made no difference (with the HDMI).
