MSI GX620 - can't turn on HDMI output

Hi,
I have MSI GX620 with HDMI output, and Benq G2420HDB monitor with DVI input. I bought HDMI-to-DVI cable, but when I connect it between the laptop and monitor, monitor recognizes that it has been connected to DVI (it shows the message), but it also says that there is no signal, and turns off.
When I try analog laptop output, everything's working perfectly, I have the picture on the screen.
It seems that there is no signal on HDMI output. Do I need to turn it on somehow or what?
Thanks.

So I just came back from a friend who also has a DVI monitor. The same situation there - when I plug it on my cable and laptop, nothing happens...
So, we decided to try installing the latest graphic card drivers... I went to msi site, and the closest thing I could find to my 64-bit Windows 7 were drivers for 32-bit Windows 7. I tried installing them, but they wouldn't install, because they are strictly built for 32-bit Windows version.
The next step was to go to nVidia site and try looking there. We found 64-bit Windows 7 drivers, installed them, but the situation is the same - still nothing happens on plugging in the DVI monitor...
So, my guess is:
1. I need 64-bit Windows 7 drivers for my graphic card but from from the msi site, because these drivers (when they come out) will probably support hdmi output, unlike regular 64-bit Windows 7 drivers from nVidia's site (do you think this makes sense?)
2. HDMI is simply not working.
I forgot to mention that up to installing graphic card drivers today, I've had regular graphic drivers which Windows 7 automatically installed. So, maybe they didn't support hdmi, because they didn't come from msi's site (the same goes for the drivers I just installed - they came from nVidia's site, as I previously mentioned).
What do you think? Thanks.

Can't get audio HDMI output to work on ViewSonic VX2453 monitor

I have a 13" mid 2011 MacBook Air and a new ViewSonic VX2453 monitor. I used the Monoprice mini display port to HDMI converter with audio and connected the monitor to my computer's thunderbolt port. The video works perfectly, but the sound isn't working at all. I set my computer's sound output in settings to VX2453 series (type: HDMI), and I set my monitor's audio input to HDMI. Nothing. I also tried changing the frequency in Audio MIDI Setup, which someone recommended on amazon for the monoprice adapter, but that didn't work either.
I tested the monitor's sound by switching audio input instead to "audio in" and connected to my headphone jack, and that worked so the monitor's sound is fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi - I'm just setting up my VX2453, as well. I got sound to come out of it via the same HDMI output setting on the Mac as you describe, so I think you're doing the right thing.
Be sure you've selected the correct HDMI input (?).
Related, on my monitor, the audio can't be adjusted anywhere other than through the cumbersome volume control on the monitor. That is, when playing over the HDMI on the monitor's speakers, the volume controls on the MacBook Pro no longer respond (grayed out).
Anyone know how to make the volume controls on the MBPro respond under that setup?
Thanks.

How can I set the HDMI output to 1366x768?

1024x768 is an option from the ATV to the HDMI Port.
But my TV is 16:9 and has the resolution of 1366x768 when I plug a computer into the HDMI port.
If 1366x768 is not currently possible from the ATV, could apple be so kind as to add it,
thanks,
Jonathan

1366 x 768 is the number of pixels in the screen, it remains to be seen whether it's a resolution the TV will accept, but it likely will since it appears to accept 768 lines of resolution.
However, the Apple TV outputs several widescreen standards for HD and ED, it also supports some graphics display resolutions, presumably for older non-wide screen projectors. The problem with graphic display resolutions is that there are many of them including non-standard resolutions.
The Apple TV supports Full HD, HD and ED, it also supports VGA, SVGA and XGA, your TV has a pixel array that would fall into a classification known as WXGA which is non-standard to begin with but also includes 4 other resolutions which are also non-standard, WXGA is primarily a 16:10 aspect ration before a 19:9 one, so whilst you may not like it, the pixel array used by your TV has been pulled from a hat in terms of standard resolutions.
AC mentioned something above which I'd like to expand on:
Panels will always give sharper pictures when displaying output at native resolution, which is what you are trying to achieve.
This is essentially correct but only part of the wider picture so far as your TV is concerned, (it isn't actually what you are trying to acheive). Content doesn't (widely) exist at 768p. Generally speaking you will only have content at 480p, 576p, 720p or 1080p, so something needs to convert this to 768 lines of resolution for your TV.
There are two devices in the chain that can perform scaling, the TV and the Apple TV. In different scenarios this can lead to one or the other device doing the scaling or in some cases both. When setting up a system, one should note the capabilities of each device and try several options (if they are available) to get best results according to which device is best at scaling.
However given your observations, it is obvious that the Apple TV is much better at scaling than your TV, which given the pixel array on your TV is a little absurd, since very few devices (DVD players etc) will offer 768 lines of resolution and your TV is always likely to be doing some scaling.
Whilst you may not like the terminology of being pulled from a hat, your TV's pixel array is a non-standard size. There are as mentioned previously many non-standard sizes, to make them all available on the Apple TV just because some TV's perform inadequately when scaling isn't realistic.

Can I turn off a output message when running Javascript in a batch?

I recently wrote a batch script that performs some Javascript while running. It works really well and is saving me a lot of time, but as each file goes through the batch loop, I get a Javascript output warning that reads "The PDF document contains JavaScripts that can cause problems while opeing the PDF". Then I have to hit a button to let it continue. I'm betting there must be an easy way to turn this message off but I haven't found it yet. Anyone have the answer?

GE60 0ND-042US HDMI output

Hi everyone.
I just got the GE60 0ND-042US and I'm really liking it so far. I'm just now trying to figure out how to use the HDMI output. I searched the forums and couldn't find any specific answers to what I'm seeing.
After looking through the these forums, I understand that the HDMI port is only powered by the 660m and not the Intel card. My problem is, I can't seem to force the 660m to turn on outside of a game. Even with a game that uses the 660m running, I can't then try to switch to mirrored or extended mode and have the HDMI port show up in the Display Settings for screen resolution. The only port that shows up is the VGA port and any advaced options still go to the Intel graphics card, so that isn't what I need.
Does anyone know how to make this work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what else to try at this point. I even checked in the BIOS and I don't see any settings there to force it to use the nvidia card. It would be nice to be able to watch video on my HD TV. Thanks!

GE60 0ND-042US - Stock configuration from MSI

Thank you for your reply.
If the Intel card also controls the HDMI port, that could be a good thing as I primarily just want to use the HDMI port to show video on my TV, rather than play 3D games. The problem is I still can't get anything out of it.
Whenever I switch to mirrored or extended mode, the only port that is listed is the VGA port. I see no options to use the HDMI port at all. The cable is a good cable and works as I can pull it out of my computer and plug it back into the PS3 and everything is fine.
I was originally thinking that I had to force the nvidia card on in order to get HDMI out to work. But if that is not the case, that's good. I just need a way to turn the HDMI output on.
Please let me know. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just not seeing, but it just doesn't seem to want to work for me.
Thank you for any help you have.

Turn off HDMI audio output?

Hi all.
I have my ATV (current gen) hooked up to my TV via HDMI, and hooked up to my home theater system via optical audio cable. The problem is now, sound is being output on both the TV and the home theater system. I can turn the volume on my TV to off, which is a workaround, but it's a bit kludgy. Is there a way to turn off the Apple TV's HDMI audio output or otherwise tell it to just output the video and not audio over HDMI?

I think it's silly that I can't change the audio output, but I appreciate the help.
I'm actually glad that all outputs work simultaneously - something like a PS3 where you have to choose between optical or HDMI can be a real pain if sometimes you just want TV speaker audio (HDMI in my case) and other times you want the full surround experience (optical to hi-fi).
I'd have no qualms about allowing disabling individual outputs but having them active over more than one is better than constantly having to fiddle in Settings menus each time you want the audio from a different device.

I just purchased the apple tv, i have an older tv that does not have an HDMI input. is there a converter i can get because the itv only have an HDMI output ? help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

Can I convert the optical output to analog for a zone 2 audio? I would continue using the HDMI for the main zone. Can I use both of these simultaneously? Zone 2 only supports analog on this receiver.

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

My TV has one Hdmi output. Can I use a splitter to connect apple tv and my direct tv DVR

Can I use an hdmi splitter to connect apple tv and my direct tv DVR? If yes, Any suggestions on a good splitter that doesn't cost too much ($40 at most).

I would get an HDMI switcher and plug in the ATV directly

MSI 290X Can't use Displayport and HMDI at the same time

Howdy:
I have two monitors running Win 7. 1. ASUS Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED monitor connected to the HDMI of my MSI R9 290X Lightning and a Dell VGA connected via Cable Matters DisplayPort to VGA adapter. Both monitors go black if I try to connect both. When I boot with both I get the splash screen but then nothing afterward. I can boot with either of the above connected separately to their respective plugs but not both.
Is there something I'm missing? I've cleaned out all of the shadowed displays in the device manager leaving only the highlighted PnP Monitor which has always been there.
Both monitors worked just fine via the HDMI and VGA to DVI-I adapter on a Gigbyte HD 7870. But since the 290x only has HDMI, DVI-D and DispayPort I am left with using the Output display for the Dell VGA monitor.
Any ideas how I can get my system to run the Dell VGA to DisplayPort?
Dell VGA to DisplayPort adapter to displayport works if only this is connected.
ASUS HDMI works if only this is connected.
Both go black if either of the above is then connected as the 2nd monitor.
Currently using AMD 14.12 Omega drivers

Hi JL, thanks for your reply
Yes, when I unplug any of the cables the connected monitor comes on. I did boot with the HDMI connected, in CCC I then plugged in the VGA to Displayport (DP) monitor. The DP Monitor icon appears but is said to be disabled. It remains disabled after clicking "detect"
In the device manager, both Generic PnP Monitor properties report "This device is working properly". When I unplug the DP monitor, the icon greys out.
I tried "extend" and "duplicate" but then the HDMI goes black and with the DP VGA remaining black. Unplugging and replugging either does not bring either monitor back. I have to reboot to get the HDMI to work again.
If I choose "Eyefinitety" then both monitors will work, but as the DP VGA default monitor. This causes the Larger ASUS monitor to default to a much lower res. I can not make the HDMI monitor the default as this point.
Only twice I've been able to get the DP monitor to work with the HDMI monitor via waiting 10 sec or so after booting to Windows then plugging the DP monitor in. Everything worked perfectly. Went I booted up the next day the DP monitor didn;t come on. That was 4 days ago and I haven't been able to get the displayport monitor to work since.

Solution for using HDMI output to devices not supporting HDCP

I read a number of similar posts about this issue and wanted to share my experience on it, propose a possible solution and ask if anyone else has already tried it.
Symptom
The symptom is that when playing rented content (some have reported this with purchased content as well, but that's not my experience) *you hear audio, but see either a black or a white screen with no video*.
_My Experience_
I had this problem with my Boxlight Cinema 17SF projector, which is a few years old. It has a DVI input, so seeking to get the best picture possible, rather than connecting the Apple TV to the projector using a component video cable, I tried to use an HDMI to DVI cable. It looked great for TV shows and purchased movies, but when trying to view movie rentals I was hearing audio, but seeing only a black screen. I called Apple support, told them about the problem and gave them my exact configuration, but they didn't have any suggestions to offer beyond restoring to factory defaults and upgrading. I tried this, and tried every possible video resolution and projector setting, but after days spent on it, nothing would solve the problem.
_Background on the Problem_
After reading some posts from helpful users in the Apple TV forum, and after some googling, I found that this problem happens when users try to use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect the Apple TV to an older display device, such as a high definition TV or projector. As it turns out, content played over the HDMI connector is protected using HDCP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP, http://www.projectorpeople.com/cables/HDCP_DVI.asp).
Essentially, in order to properly display content, the display device needs an HDCP chipset from a subsidiary of Intel, which older devices do not have (plus for HDMI, HDCP support is mandatory but for DVI, it's optional). If your display device does not have this chipset, or worse yet, if it has the chipset but it isn't compatible with the Apple TV version of the chipset, video content will not display and you'll typically get a black or white screen. Apple must have gotten a number of support calls on this, as I read in a recent post that they no longer support using HDMI to DVI cables to connect your Apple TV to your display device. Aha.
_Component Video_
One of the nice things about component video is that there's no HDCP to worry about. You can use the component video output on the Apple TV to connect to your display device, and you'll be able to view all content. In my case, I'm using a component video to SVGA adapter. It works, and I can view all content, purchased or rented.
Unfortunately, however, aside from component video being an analog rather than a digital signal, the component output on the Apple TV is crippled and only supports 480i resolution. So if you have a high definition device and want to use component video at higher resolutions than 480i to watch your high definition movies, you're out of luck.
Just as an aside, component video looks best for me when I go into the settings and first try to select 720p resolution. I hear two "beep beep" sounds (the same sound as when you try to navigate beyond the end of a menu) and briefly see a menu showing that the Apple TV is canceling the resolution change for me (holy cow that's weak, they crippled this at the interface level), and the Apple TV forces me back to 480i. However, for some reason the contrast is better after this, colors are better and blacks are much deeper. Despite this unexplained oddity which may only be true for my Cinema 17SF DLP projector, the resolution is still limited to 480i.
_Possible Solution?_
After some more googling, I ran into this device called an HDFury at http://www.hdfury.com/. Apparently, it's an HDMI to VGA/component video converter that strips HDCP from the video and allows the use of resolutions up to 1080p. There are two versions, the HD Fury and the HD Fury 2. Although it's pricey, I'm going to give the HD Fury 2 a try. Even though it wouldn't be a digital connection to my projector, at least it should allow me to use 720p or 1080p, in theory.
I should point out that I'm not sure about the legality of this device. Essentially you're removing something that was supposed to be there to prevent people from copying digital content, but regarding this I think a couple of things: 1) It's only an analog output (SVGA or component), so you're not getting the original digital data and 2) you're using this for personal use, or you should be. You're not using it to circumvent the DRM, but only so that you can view the content you've rightfully purchased or rented.
So, *has anyone tried this device with the Apple TV*, or discovered another way to get all available resolutions when displaying on older high-definition devices using DVI or component video? I'll wait a few days for responses, then go ahead and buy one and post again about my results with it. Thanks for any advice.

I have an update on this that should clarify one critical thing and make my original premise about the use of an HD Fury unnecessary (although the content of the post might still be useful). I had thought that the component video output on the Apple TV was crippled to 480i, but it's not.
What was happening to me was that 720p and 1080i resolutions were taking a long time to sync on my projector, so I was never seeing the Cancel/OK menu that comes up to accept the resolution. I thought that the Apple TV was selecting Cancel for me, but it wasn't, it was just timing out because I never accepted the new resolution.
So, if you KNOW that your device supports the resolution you're selecting (such as 720p) and your device is just taking a long time to sync, select the new resolution, wait a second then press down and OK on your remote, even though you don't see anything. You'll accept the new resolution.
However, *if you do this and the new resolution doesn't work, you could be hosed*. I suggest that if this is the case, remember the remote keypresses necessary to back out and reverse the change. For example, remember the number of times you need to press up or down to return to your original resolution, then hit OK, down then OK to go back to a safe resolution, like 480i.
At least now, I'm able to use 720p or 1080i with the component video output, and it works with both rented and purchased videos. It still doesn't work with the HDMI -> DVI cable, but the use of the HD Fury should be unnecessary when the Apple TV component output supports all resolutions.

How do I Turn Off HDMI Audio

Hi, I love my Mac Mini, I really do. But this little problem is driving me batty!
Speaker 1
I have my Mini plugged into an HDMI monitor, and as you probably know, HDMI monitors have a speaker built in (or at least mine does).
Speaker 2
I also of course have my internal Mac Mini speakers.
Speaker 3
I sometimes connect my bluetooth headphones, especially when watching a film or gaming.
The problem occurs when I either disconnect my headphones, or the system comes out of standby. When this happens, it defaults to the HDMI output, which is not only rubbish, but not easily controlable. I can't use the volume keys on my keyboard, and must resort to clucky buttons on the monitor.
What I want, very simply, is to disable the HDMI output on the Mac, so if I'm not using my headphones, it defaults to the internal speakers.
Is this possible, and if so, how?

Thanks for the info BDAqua, didn't think to look there.
But alas, it didn't work. There aren't any settings to remove a device. You can flag a device to play sound and/or alerts, but it isn't sticky. When I activate and then turn off my headset, it defaults to the HDMI output even though I just set it to internal speakers.
There also isn't a way to set the priority for which one to be selected first.
Den, I do that already, but am hoping to find a way to configure it permanently. I shouldn't have to select it every single freaking time. Apple is smarter than this, it should just know.
There also isn't a way to disable or configure the speakers on my monitor.
I've also looked at system settings, and the actual audio devices. No settings there to do what I want it to either.
