Unable to use HDMI IN port on B550

Hi, I am unable to use the HDMI IN port on the B550, whenever i switch to HDMI mode, the screen is blank with no signal. But HDMI OUT port seems to work. anybody with similiar problems to this?

Hey everyone. I'm from Brazil and Im with a similar problem to yaoyuan, or sort of...My Ideacentre B550 dont work the Hdmi-in when I try to use my Playstation 3. I've tested my cable tv at hdmi in it, and works great. I connect my netbook at the hdmi in at B550 and the B550 worked as a secondary monitor just fine too. But when I connect the ps3 at hdmi-in the b550 seems to get it (is not as I dont plug anything) because the screen is not total black but a dark grey (the counter when the b550 doesnt find anythign didnt appear), but no sound or image appear.. .I changed hdmi cable but nothing happen. Used the same hdmi cable at a tv and ps3 and works.PS3 works just fine at the 3 tvs i have, with the same hdmi. only when try the b550 no image appears. Cables (i teste 3) are ok, PS3 is ok... Did anybody knows anything about an incompatible thing to ps4 and Lenovo B550? * I've checked cable, the source option at the b550, settings at ps3 (setup up at another screen as when I plugged into b550 no image appears). I've also try to use a hdmi swicht but no changes at all. All the time the only difference is that b550 is dark grey when pluged the ps3 (and not black). Cheers

Using hdmi mini port to connect to hdtv

using hdmi mini port to connect to hdtv. the displays mirror just fine but the audio doesnt. under the sound settings for output it only lists the internal speakers and should list the tv but doesn't, why?

If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

Unable to use the recording port more than once at a ti

Greets. I'm in a clan that uses Ventrilo for their Battlefield 2 games, and that's all fine and dandy...Love Ventrilo... Though, I am unable to talk in BF2 -and- Ventrilo at the same time. Everyone else in my clan can talk on BF2 and Ventrilo at the same time.Here's some examples so hopefully someone can help:Scenario )When I open Ventrilo first, and launch BF2, all my audio options for microphone are greyed out and set to 0%.Scenario 2)When I open BF2 first and launch Ventrilo, Ventrilo gives me an error about the <SPAN class=highlight>recording port already being in use or something weird like that.Scenario 3)When I open FRAPS first (with <SPAN class=highlight>recording sound enabled), then launch Ventrilo, Ventrilo gives me the same error. Same with BF2 when it comes second, all my options are greyed out.Would installing my sound card for my motherboard work, as long as I set the correct <SPAN class=highlight>recording device? I don't want to do that, because I want to use my SB Li've! instead. Does anyone have the same problem?
Here is my DxDiag info:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
Earlier this afternoon, I started a cleansweep of my entire system with entries in the registry pointing to anything having to do with SB Li've!. I've got rid of -everything- except for one thing that's really bugging me:In the Control Panel, there's an AudioHQ icon, and when I double-click it, nothing happens... I don't know how to get rid of control panel icons, but considering that's still in there, makes me wonder if there is still something lingering from my last installation.
Now, you're all going to laugh at me for this one, but I've been through two major upgrades (mobo, CPU, sound card, etc.) without formatting. I've been meaning to do this, but I hate formatting, because then it takes like a week to get the computer running the way you want it to.
While uninstalling all my sound drivers, I decided to go into the add remove programs to uninstall some old crap I never used. I saw two enries....BF2, and BF2 demo... Thinking of how I don't play the demo anymore, I will uninstall the demo- 'cept it uninstalled the entire BF2 retail game. Sooooo.....My way to test this isn't even installed, but it seems to be working all right when I launch FRAPS and Ventrilo at the same time.
But then it started to get strange...
When prompted at Windows startup to install new hardware, I had inserted the SB Li've! driver disk and tried to run setup.exe - It says:<IMG alt="" src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaldarith/tw/error.gif" border=0>So, on the New Hardware Installation, I had it automatically search for the drivers by CD-ROM, and it found them in the Drivers/audio/win2k folder (Running Windows 2K SP 4), and seemed to install them just fine. After they installed, I heard some sound, thinking everything went smoothly.Now I try to install the upgraded drivers I downloaded from Creative's website:<IMG alt="" src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaldarith/tw/error.gif" border=0>So I check out my device manager:<IMG alt="" src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaldarith/tw/devicemanager.gif" border=0>Thinking I was able to run FRAPS and Ventrilo at the same time, I tried to load Battlefield 2 and Ventrilo at the same time and got this error:
<IMG alt="" src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaldarith/tw/input.gif" border=0>
So I knew it was hopeless.
Then I popped in the SB Li've! CD again and it auto-loaded with the driver installation program, and I selected the typical installation, thinking I may have missed something doing a custom in the past.
Now my device manager shows:
- Creative Game Port
- Creative SB Li've! series
But, it gets strange again. After installing the factory drivers from the CD and then trying to install the updated drivers from Creative's website, I get the same error I got above:
<IMG alt="" src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jaldarith/tw/error.gif" border=0>
At this point, I am extremely stuck. Every one of my friends can play Battlefield 2 and have Ventrilo loaded at the same time, and still be able to talk through each program's independent voice over IP.
Is my sound card even able to do such a thing?Message Edited by Jaldarith on 08-23-2005 05:37 PM

Just checked the model of card youre using by Hardware ID
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0002&SUBSYS_00A02&REV_0A = SB0220 SBLi've! 5. Digital,
and I think if this is correct, you'll may find some other frustrationed owners asking the
same question you have.
Have you tried these drivers
and/or
these drivers
About this issue you and the others are having:
[url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=4670" target=_blank>See this thread[/url]
BTW:
You perhaps can install Audigy 2 drivers and software to your card. Here are the instructions how to do it.
It's quite easy process. Download Audigy driver/software package (~20MB) (link is there), extract it into some directory. Download the patch (link is on Automatic Method sentence)and follow instructions how to patch the instalation package. Then installation process. I've modded my Audigy 2 to Audigy 2 Zs using a similiar method and everyting else, but GraphicMixer, works great.

Mail & IMAP : unable to use "exotics" server port ?

Hello,
I updated my IMAP configuration on server side, to change listening ports to something less usual than 993.
It's working fine on my mac, so server's configuration is OK.
But my iPhone refuses to connect to this new port, and always displays "unable to connect to ..." (using my WiFi, or 3G).
If I switch back to the usual port 993, and reconfigure the iPhone, it's OK...
Have anyone experienced the same thing, or managed to configure iPhone to connect on a specific port ?

Unable to use any USB ports on Satellite P50-A (PSPMHC-01M00P) are Windows 7 Ultimate Install

Hi Everyone,
I created a dual-boot Win7/Win8.1 system on my Satellite P50-A (PSPMHC-01M00P) unfortunately, even though I was able to find a working USB Controller driver from a similar model's Win7 driver, I can not get the laptop to recognize or install anything USB device regardless of which port I plug the device into. It's as if my USB ports are disabled when in Windows 7. This isn't the case with my Windows 8.1 installation.
Could this be a driver issue since I know it's not a hardware one? Could anyone recommend a suitable non-Canadian Windows 7 64bit chipset driver that I could try in hopes to resolve my USB functionality?
Any help is appreciated.

Satellite P50-A-01M (PSPMHC-01M00P)
We support US computers at this site. Everything for that Canadian model is here.
Unfortunately, your site does not include anything for Windows 7. As you've noticed, that Windows version does not support USB 3.0 natively. It needs a driver.
But you are in luck! Because it's in the same part-number family (PSPMHx), this US computer uses the same drivers and utilities. Compare the specs.
Satellite P50-AST2GX1 (PSPMHU-01G00R)
Those downloads are here.
If you want everything to work, the order of installation is important. Start with a clean install of Windows 7. Install the chipset software and display drivers prior to any other drivers. Install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utilities.

Using just the TV screen when using HDMI port?

Hi,
I have the Macbook Pro with retina display and I was wondering how I could use just the TV screen when using HDMI port. I don't want mirroring displays, just one on the TV.

With the TV connected and the MBP plugged into the mains (i.e. not running on battery power) close the lid. The MBP will go to sleep, wake it up with an external keyboard or mouse - which must be connected in advance, or paired in advance if a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

To drive a monitor from a Mini, is there an advantage to using the Thunderbolt port versus the HDMI port?

Is there an advantage to using the Thunderbolt port versus the HDMI port to drive a monitor?
Can i just plug in my 18" LCD TV to the HDMI port and use it as a monitor?
Thanks, friends ~

Thanks, lllaass,
I have a new Mini arriving tomorrow. It will be replacing my 9 year old iMac.
I have at my disposal an older VGA monitor and a regular LCD TV with
an HDMI input. I'm trying to decide which one will work the best for me. If I use the TV, I won't have to buy
a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter.

I can not conect to my TV using HDMI ports.

?i can not conect my touchsmart 600 to my TV using HDMI ports. Do anyone knows how to fix the problem?

HP TouchSmart 600 refers to over 200 different computer models.
When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the back or bottom of your computer. Please do not include your serial number. Please enter the model/product information into HP's Online Consumer Support page and post it here for our review.
Most HP TouchSmart computers do not have HDMI inputs or outputs. Typically, the few that have an HDMI port have an HDMI input for video player or game console input. You may need to purchse and use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 (or any of the many other adapters on the market) to connect an external display to your computer. I personally use and recommend the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39.

Using the HDMI-In port of the A300

One of the key features of the Ideacentre A300 [57115581] is the HDMI-In / HDMI-Out ports.
First I tried the HDMI-Out port; it worked perfectly - both picture and multi-channel digital audio.
Now I am attempting to use the display in 'TV' mode by selecting the 'HDMI-In' setting on the touch-sensitive display button. PC is not switched On. Connecting an external HDMI DVD player with HDMI cable connected to the HDMI-In port on the A300. But can't get anything on the display; A300 display shows 'No Signal'!
What am I doing wrong? How should the HDMI-In port be used?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi FB, hope your problem was automatically resolved when you rebooted the A300? The display should hv come On in PC mode. Else you can gently touch the same right-most feather-touch sensor (button), on the bottom-right edge of the LCD panel, and keep touching it with your finger tip for 2 secs; the display status will appear on the screen and you will see the current mode highlighted. Again v gently tap the sensor to toggle the display mode thru the other settings -> PC / HDMI-in / LCD-off
PC mode will take you to the regular Windows display; HDMI-in will show you a display if any video source is connected via an HDMI cable to the system's HDMI-in port; and LCD-off will turn-off the LCD panel. HDMI-in can even be viewed without booting-up the system (just keep the input power adapter switched On).
'No Signal' will flash on the screen when (a) display is in PC mode and the system hasn't booted-up; or (b) display is in HDMI-in mode and no video source is connected thru the HDMI-in port.
I hope this helps.

I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot. I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

Thanks Eric for responding.
I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death).
One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
Thanks again.

how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:

Static using HDMI to DVI adapter on 2011 mini

Hi,
I bought my first Mac last week, the i5 2.3ghz mini. I originally set it up on my TV (using HDMI), downloaded/installed the updates, and messed around a bit before deciding that a 42 inch display isn't as convenient as I thought it would be.
Using the HDMI to DVI adapter that came with the mini I hooked it up to my 19 inch acer monitor. While booting can see the boot screen, but the display is very staticy. Once it logged in I was able to barely see well enough past the static to mess around with the display settings thinking that maybe the mini was trying to push an unsupported resolution to my monitor (because I set it up on my TV at 1080p).
I read up on the issue and it seems that some have had problems with static while waking up from sleep. Mine has static all the time.
By a stroke of luck I happened to have a HDMI to DVI cable on hand. I tried it out and it displayed beautifully. No static, works as I expected.
So the problem seems to be the adapter that came with the mini, the DVI cable that I was originally using (the cable works with my PC), or the HDMI port on the mini itself not working well with Apple's own adapter (not likely).
I was just wondering if anybody else has had this issue, and if they fixed it did it end up being the adapter or did replacing the DVI cable with a higher quality cable do the trick.
Thanks,
Corey

I just posted a similar issue here. The weird thing is that on my system, a Dell monitor works with the HDMI-DVI adapter but the Acer monitor doesn't. Do you think getting another adapter would resolve it fo rme? What kind worked for you?
