  • HDMI output have suddenly stopped. Pavilion a6340a

    Hello

    I posted here in hope that someone can give me some advice.

    The system in Question is:

    • HP Pavilion a6340a desktop computer. Double heart
    • Vista 32 bit SP2.
    • NVIDIA GF8400GS
    • COMPRO Video mate Vista TV Capture card.
    • 2 GB of RAM.

    It is a bit of an older system, I guess, but it plays well as a HTPC for a while now. It has a small LCD monitor connected via the standard connection and a large flat screen Toshiba TV connected via HDMI. He did a great job.

    Today, the HDMI output just stopped. The Toshiba TV again to survey/is visible in the Nvidia Control Panel and the Vista Control Panel when it is connected to the HDMI. the implementation of the features of multiple monitors are available. But there is nothing happening on TV.

    Things has tried so far.

    • Two different Cables HDMI - nothing.
    • Connected my Pavilion Notebook DV6 on the same HDMI port on the TV - works fine.
    • Installed the latest driver from Nvidia - nothing.
    • Tried all the three HDMI ports on the TV - nothing.
    • Physically, shot the video card in the computer, he dusted off and reassembled it. -Nothing.

    I don't understand. Could this be a processor problem, or I have to pay for a new video card? Is it possible to test the output from the HDMI port with a multimeter or something? I do not understand why it would stop just like that. I just installed Vista SP2 a few weeks ago, but it was working well after I did.

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. The system is out of warranty, of course, but it has been a great HTPC for me. I stuck a blu - ray inside player and I was about to give him another 2 GB of RAM.

    Kind of useless now, without HDMI.

    IM at a loss. What else can I do to verify that Exchange of the graphics card?

    Hello

    The short answer is: replace the video card VNvidia GF8400GS. If you happen to have another video card around laying which has an output and HDMI, then install it for a test. It's the fastest way to solve the problem.

  • F5 will not read a map and will not HDMI output

    Hey guys, I'm new here and new to F5. I just got me second hand F5 and opportunity SXS pro + card (64 GB) and the camera is not picking up. When I insert the card, turns bright red media access, and then I get locked out settings. I get a cannot continue message when I try to do something. I don't get a message to format the card, and I don't think I can access the menu to format the card manually because I don't have a HDMI output power on my HD Gratical Zacuto. Any idea of what this could be the cause?


  • Re: Satellite U400-145: no option to select HDMI as HDMI output default

    Hello

    I followed the instructions in the manual its leader to the topic on the HDMI output.
    However, when I go to the sound control panel, there is no digital output device (HDMI) listed only the Conexant Chairman and SPDIF outputs.
    I tried the default SPDIF output, which did not work.
    The HDMI works fine for the image, but the absence of the sound through it is driving me crazy.

    I'm running VISTA (fully updated) on a U400-145

    Someone at - it ideas how I can get the HDMI to appear as an output option?

    Andy

    Hello

    Go to the control panel-> Sound-> playback tab
    There, you have to click to the right.
    Then mark the options; Show all disabled devices
    Then you should see the HDMI interface.
    Now, you could activate and chose as the default value.

  • Live streaming and own HDMI output on camcorder SONY consumer (HDR-PJ650VE in my case)

    Hi all

    I'm trying to figure out how I can live streams, using my Camcorder HDR-PJ650VE. I managed to connect the camcorder to my TV by HDMI out and get the live stream, but the problem is that it also displays the superimposed onscreen. It would be a very useful feature, since it this way, you are able to capture the stream by a jury of consumers capture and share it on Youtube for example.

    I cannot find anything on the manual release of the stream HDMI output and get rid of overlapping info. Is there a key combination or a hidden menu to achieve?

    In addition, it seems very strange SONY would not offer such feature, as for example the PANASONIC offers this good enough consumption walked on models like HC-V520

    Please, let me know if it would be possilb esolving this annoying limitation

    Best regards

    I want to share my discovery because it seems to be valid for all SONY camcorders: to have a clean HDMI out, turn off on HDMI CTR.

    I'm very happy now and I'll start live broadcast!

  • Satellite U400-11U: no sound with HDMI output

    Hi all

    I am the proud owner of a model of satellite U400-11U PSU40E running with Windows Vista.
    Recently, I tried to view a video on my TV. To do this, I used the HDMI output of the laptop connected to the TV.

    I took care to connect the cable to the TV and only after to the laptop.
    Then use the quick access key (Fn + F5), poster image on the TV.
    Unfortunately, there was no noise.

    After some googling, I discovered that I needed to activate the HDMI audio output via the control panel of the sound.
    Unofrtunatly, when viewing, I have found no output Audio HDMI, but only speakers and another exit (whose name I forgot--sorry).

    I tried to update the video and HDMI audio drivers (I noticed that there is a HDMI audio driver in the perpipherals system, which was considered 'work' of Vista), but it changed nothing.

    So, what can I do to activate the audio output over HDMI?

    Hello

    Please see this FAQ from Toshiba:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401B00001R01.htm

    You will find an instruction how to solve this problem... it s about Qosmio G30 but I think it should work on U400 too...

    The point is that you must set the S/PDIF audio output by default!

    And don t forget to RESTART the laptop after the change was made.

    See you soon

  • Not possible to set the HDMI output as default screen on Qosmio G30

    It is not possible to set the HDMI output as default screen! This works only with VGA output. There is no option in the BIOS. According to support, Toshiba will plan any action for this useful feature.

    I use an external TFT with HDMI adapter DVI Cable and I want to have as default screen TFT. With VGA, it will work without problems.
    Any solution?

    Hi Nicolas

    Very interesting question! In my view, HDMI port is to be used with the HD ready LCD TVs or plasma. Combination of connection HDMI and HD DVD movies, you can really have a HD on your TV picture quality.

    As you know the port is a standard VGA port to connect external displays. The image quality is very good and, in my opinion, you should not use HDMI port for the same. Do you perhaps the best image quality?

  • Satellite P50-B-103 - to connect my HDMI output on a VGA monitor

    Hi all

    I just bought a satellite * P50-B-103 *, which has a HDMI output and I want to connect it to an external VGA monitor.

    I thought that I just need to buy a HDMI - VGA Converter, but the buyer was told that Toshiba, unless this model, is not ready to connect to a VGA monitor, although I use a converter.

    Is it true or I can connect my laptop to the vga monitor using the converter?

    Thanks in advance,

    Charly

    It remains that HDMI provides digital signal and analog support port VGA (RGB) signal.

    To be honest, I read a lot of articles on these adapters and converters, but in many cases, these converters are useless.

    So it s no matter if your laptop was manufactured by Toshiba or another manufacturer.
    ITSA the question of the standard of caught signals supported by each port.

  • Satellite L500-131, an HDMI output to the audio amplifier

    Hello

    I can't the sound of my Satellite L500-131 HDMI port to my Pioneer amp supposed to be designed to manage these tings...

    Think the problem is in the early stages as I * don't * select "Realtek HDMI output" as default + output + option is not available.
    Playing around, I managed to get to an old Microsoft driver hidden in memory somewhere and could select HDMI output 'default' through the laptop speakers. But ultimately this ddn can't get sound through either, well that the volume to "sound board" control of Vista indicates activity signal (bars during playback of DVD)... :|

    No idea what is the problem? By selecting "Output HDMI" audio output by default seems to be a Solver for everyone, but it's the only option that is not left in me, so frustrating... :|

    Thank you very much for any help provided.

    Hello

    To be honest I often use HDMI connection on my laptop but I never had any problems with this connection. Everything is working properly and even I checked again all works well!

    Anyway, in your case, I'll try reinstalling the audio driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    If you use the HDMI connection, connect the cable first. Then turn on your TV or your amplifier and finally the laptop.
    Check it!

  • Y510p - drivers nvidia HDMI output that's an analog connection

    I had occasional problems with HDMI output before, but can usually get things working in certain combinations to turn off TV and laptop.

    This time, however I can't convince them to talk together. I suspect that this may be due the new drivers (353.30).

    The control panel can see TV and recognizes that it is a LG TV, but TV shows only "no signal".

    I tried

    -the extension and mirroring of the display

    -changing the resolution

    but no luck. The only thing is that enter in the nvidia Control Panel, I noticed that the control panel is refers to the "analog display" and claims that he uses the VGA connector.

    Any ideas how NVIDIA persuage it's really a digital camera display via the HDMI connector?

    Thank you

    Now fixed by the expediency of simple to try another HDMI cable :-(

  • How to change HDMI output resolution in Windows 7?

    This is a new laptop Sony VAIO Y Series with Windows 7 Professional and a Samsung plasma TV.  Yesterday I connected my laptop and the TV with an HDMI-HDMI cable.  After that I went in Fn + F7 and selected "Projector" only, my desktop screen was successfully mirrored on my TV.   However, after I disconnected and then reconnected the cable, a dialog box appeared and asked me if I wanted to change my resolution of HDMI output.  While I felt fairly certain that my TV supports 720 or 768 only, I chose 1080 p.  (I realized it was a mistake.)  After doing this, the graphics in a video streaming box on MLB. TV is scrambled and very bad.

    So, I think I have to set my resolution of HDMI output for 768 or 720, but I can't determine how to proceed.  I scoured the foundations of knowledge and electronic bulletin boards without result.  I searched through my display settings and resolution.  I have made a restore of the system for the day before my error, also to nothing does not.

    When I right-click on the desktop and select 'Screen Resolution', then select the second (my TV) screen, the resolution drop-down list is 'greyed out', and I'm not able to change the setting, which reflects the 1366 x 768.

    Can someone please?  Thanks in advance for your time.

    Hello, Ithilias

    Plug the HDMI and instead choose projector only, choose Extend.

    Now, return to the screen resolution of the screen and you should be able to change the resolution of the display of the second.

    Hello:

    The only suggestion I can offer would be to try the AMD graphics driver, if you don't have already done.

    Your laptop is not supported by HP for W7 and especially not supported for 32-bit operating systems.

    http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/mobile?OS=Windows%207%20-%2032

    As a last resort, try to manually install the W7 x 64 graphics driver from the support page and the driver of your laptop (sp66999).

    I explored the driver file, and there are 32-bit included in this file drivers.

  • Acer Veriton N2620G-UC101X and no HDMI output?

    Recently got the product above and when I connect it to a TV via HDMI, no signal is received in the Inbox of Acer. Running Windows 7, 64 bit. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Thank you

    If this box does not have HDMI output, is there a DVI-> HDMI adapter that carries the sounds? (Wanting to use the Acer box as an XBMC client on my TV)

    Hello

    If the product comes with an HDMI port, then it should be able to connect via HDMI. Have you tried other HDMI devices to see if it works? The problem may be that the TV that you connect to can't stand is not the resolution of the computer trying to exit. You never have any signal when turning on/off the N2620G?

    DVI is not able to exercise sound and would be possible via HDMI.
