How do I connect my PC to a DVI monitor?

Troubleshooting
No video signal displayed
Verify both HDMI and DVI connections are secure. Ensure the display is set to the correct DVI input source. Check that the source device is outputting a compatible resolution. Confirm that the source device's port is indeed HDMI and the display's port is DVI.
Flickering or distorted image
Ensure the cable is not damaged. Try a different DVI input port on the display if available. Check for sources of electromagnetic interference near the cable. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.
Incorrect resolution or aspect ratio
Adjust the display resolution and refresh rate settings in the operating system or graphics card control panel of the source device to match the capabilities of the DVI display.
No audio transmission
This is expected behavior. This cable is designed for video transmission only. Connect a separate audio cable (e.g., 3.5mm jack, optical audio) from your source device to your audio output system or display's audio input.
