So I have been trying to figure out how to get this to work since I got my comp but can't seem to find the setting I need to change or driver or what ever. I am trying to get my video card to display out of the mini HDMI port it works fine out of the DVI with an HDMI adapter but I can't get it to work through the mini HDMI with a Mini to full HDMI cable. Any ideas?
Adapter isnt working properly? Output isnt working? Cant use mini-HDMI and DVI at the same time maybe?
Not using an adapter just a cable with one end mini one end normal. Output not working no way I can test it really. I have to disconnect the DVI to connect the HDMI to my TV. I was hoping it's a driver problem or something that I have to enable in windows maybe. Oh it's a Zotac GTX 560. Google doesn't really seem to be coming up with my exact problem either so maybe it is just a dead output on the card.
Yeah I've never had a problem like this. Honestly, my immediate first reaction was dead output. I've had that happen. Cat decided it would be fun to pee on it.... yay. But, to ask a basic question... sorry if it sounds too elementary. Does windows even recognize a second monitor at all when the cable is plugged in? If so, did you try expanding or duplicating the desktop? I know its basic, but just have to eliminate the easy stuff before you move on to the more difficult when playing detective.
did you try turning the computer off, plugging in the TV via the mini-HDMI and then turning the computer on? Windows often times doesnt like suddenly sending out to a new monitor, you have to refresh the connections in your graphics control panel or do a restart. Easiest way is to just boot up with that one connection and let windows detect it at boot and see what happens.
Ya tried that. Well if it's not a known issue then maybe it is just a busted output. I can't be arsed to return the card either so guess I'm just stuck using the other output.
