  1. Window only outputting to one monitor at any given time


    Only one monitor is getting an output at one given time, I have 2 plugged into my GPU and only one is detecting a signal, when i unplug the cable to the working monitor, the other one suddenly works and gets a display. If i replug the cable to the first monitor, the first one gets a display and the second one goes blank claiming to have "no signal found".

    :)

  2. Windows shows third monitor as inactive. Cannot get output on more than two displays.

    Hi -

    I have a new computer running Windows 11 Pro (10.0.22621 Build 22621) connected to 3 identical INNOCN 27m2v monitors via an RTX 4090.

    Windows appears to detect all 3 monitors, but one of them is always listed as inactive. I am able to change which of the monitors is inactive by toggling settings in Nvidia Control Panel (i.e., I'm able to get output on any combination of 2 displays at a time), but I am unable to get output on all 3 monitors.

    Below is a list of all the troubleshooting steps I've taken thus far.

    • Used DDU to do a complete uninstall and clean reinstall of GPU drivers
    • Tried connecting the monitors using both 3 DisplayPort cables and 2 DP cables + 1 HDMI 2.1 cable
    • Set all monitors to 4k 60Hz with only 8 bit color (though the 4090 is capable of outputting to up to four 4k 120hz displays at once)
    • Confirmed the project mode is set to extend for all monitors
    • Did a clean install of windows
    • Tried different DP and HDMI cables (but again, all 3 monitors are capable of getting output, just never all three at a time)
    I've tried to upload screenshots to include in this post but keep getting errors saying "something went wrong" so I can't include them at this time. If possible I will add them in a subsequent post.

    Monitor sound output not found since latest Windows update

    Hello,

    I have a Hanns G HT225HPB monitor connected to my computer over a DisplayPort cable. Previously, I could set the monitor's loudspeaker as audio output. Since latest Windows update (W10 Pro 1903 - 18362.418) this output doesn't appear any more in the list
    of audio outputs. How can I solve this?

    Thank you for helping.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    I suggest you to try the troubleshooting steps listed in the articles listed below:



    If you’re facing sound issues on Envy 24 monitor speakers, you may try the steps listed in

    If the issue persists, you may update the chipset drivers for your PC and check if it works.
