Windows 10: Problem with DVI/ HDMI connectors and the setting

I have in my computer 2 DVI connectors (DVI and DVI-D) and only one of them work at a time. The one that works sometimes change between them and to what I have heard that is possibly because of something in the setting.

The problem is that the DVI that I want to work (the DVI-D) doesn't (I want to use that specific DVI connector because it gives better performance for some reason) and I have also an HDMI to DVI cable but that also doesn't work and I suspect it is for the same reason as both connectors are located in the same area on the computer. So my question is does anyone knows what setting am I suppose to change in order to make the DVI-D connector or the HDMI connector work?

Nokia N8 HDMI to DVI problem

Can you explain in more details. I'm trying to connect nokia N8 to a multimedia projector with DVI IN, using a HDMI/DVI cable - isn't these both digital signal connectors. Are you saying that Nokia N8 connects only by HDMI/HDMI cable to various devices.

 

HDMI to DVI Monitor Will Not Play Audio

Thanks for the suggestions, Deepika. I have a Samsung SyncMaster HDTV monitor and a SHARP monitor. I'm trying to get audio on the Samsung HDTV. I'm not sure if you need an audio cable when connecting to the HDTV. Anyways, I kept it on the television. Either
way, it doesn't work. I ran the troubleshooter, and there isn't any problems. I tested all the cables yesterday, and everything works as usual. How are the HDMI cables supposed to connect and work with video and audio? Is there a driver problem? I believe
it might be because my monitor is in the DVI port, instead of an HDMI. This is why it's not detecting on the sounds/playback devices. Plugging an audio cable in the secondary monitor with VGA works, but using an HDMI for the television does not. Using VGA
for the television does work with audio. Not sure what the problem is, or if I have to plug the audio cable in the HDTV at all. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

UPDATE: Figured out the problem, testing. The HDMI cable although supports audio and video, the DVI connector
does not. Because of this, the computer detects it as a DVI connection. It instead uses the regular audio cable. The television, however, does not. It detects HDMI first, and uses that as as the audio. Since there is no coming through the DVI
connector and instead coming through the audio cable, it won't play anything. This can be half solved by changing the source device (source>edit name) on the Samsung television to HDMI DVI. This, however, does not fix it, as sound still doesn't come out. The
computer still has to be changed to be able to play audio properly. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

Nokia N8 HDMI to DVI problem

Hi,

I've managed to get it to work on a 17inch monitor, DVI input and HDMI/DVI cable.



Might need to do a search on the monitor to pick up settings etc.
