I am having problems displaying video on my Samsung TV. I will list the specs of my system, a backstory of how my issue came about, define the exact issue I'm having, and list troubleshooting steps I have already taken to try and fix the problem.
1. Here is the spec list of my current setup:
core i7 -2700k
16b ram
dual gtx 560ti in SLI mode
asus pz877-v motherboard
2. Backstory:
So for a while I was using my Samsung TV as my primary display to watch movies and such. I could play games, get sound, and everything worked great.
I brought home a LG LCD monitor and hooked it up through DVI to play games on a smaller screen and this is where I started having connectivity issues.
3. Issues:
Currently I have my video output set up like this.
DVI connected to a vizio TV
HDMI connected to my Samsung
(both of these are connected to the top card in my SLI setup)
I can get video on the vizio TV through DVI but I cannot get my Samsung to recognize the HDMI signal.
It is really weird because in the NVIDIA control panel it recognizes that my Samsung TV is connected and says that my desktop is extended to it. However, when I try to change the input to HDMI on the tv nothing shows up in the Source List.
4. Troubleshooting Steps I have tried without success:
I started from scratch with a fresh install of windows and reinstalled all the drivers including the latest nvidia driver.
I tried booting up my computer with just the hdmi plugged into my video card and I'm pretty sure it doesn't get past post-boot with just the HDMI plugged in.
I tried plugging both the HDMI and DVI into the bottom card of my SLI setup.
From the Nvidia control panel I tried making the HDMI the primary display and it still doesnt register as a source on the TV.
I bought a new cord to see if it was a cord issue but it doesnt appear so.
Thoughts:
I don't know what happened but I'm assuming some settings got messed up when I originally started gaming on the DVI connected montior. As I said before, I had no issue displaying my computer on my Samsung TV and everything worked great.
Its just so odd to me that the card recognizes the TV but it doesnt show up as a source on the TV.
Lastly If I plug the hdmi cable into my vizio TV (which is currently connected via DVI) I can get it to display video fine, but with no sound.
I would really appreciate the help guys, and my main goal is to make my samsung tv the primary monitor again through HDMI. I have tried everything I know and don;t know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
