Troubleshooting
No video output detected on the HDMI display.
Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into both the USB 3.0 port on your source device and the HDMI cable connected to your display. Verify that your display is set to the correct HDMI input. Check your operating system's display settings to ensure the external display is enabled and configured. For optimal results, use a USB 3.0 port.
Display resolution is lower than 1920x1080 or refresh rate is not 60Hz.
Confirm that the USB port on your source device is USB 3.0. USB 2.0 ports may not support the required bandwidth for higher resolutions and refresh rates. Also, check the display settings in your operating system to manually set the resolution and refresh rate to 1920x1080 at 60Hz.
No audio is transmitted to the HDMI display.
This adapter is designed for video only and does not transmit audio. You will need to use a separate audio connection (e.g., from your device's headphone jack or built-in speakers) for sound.
Adapter is not recognized by the computer (no Plug and Play).
Try connecting the adapter to a different USB 3.0 port on your computer. If using a USB hub, connect it directly to the computer's USB port. Ensure your operating system is up to date, as older versions might have limited support for USB display adapters.
