Two HDMI Ports; Only one works.

[DennyFrontier]

So I have two HDMI ports. One of them is on my graphics card and the other one is a little bit north on the tower grouped up with the USB ports and such. My monitor uses the white VGA port and my VR headset uses the HDMI port on the graphics card. But I want to use the other HDMI port to hook up to the TV so we can see eachother play VR in real time (instead of using my small monitor). But the second HDMI port does not work and nothing happens when I connect something to it. How do I enable it?

Thank you

The graphics card and intergrated graphics of the CPU does not work at the same time. To enable the HDMI port on the motherboard, you’ll have to disable your graphics card.
There is probably some way to get the ports work at the same time I believe, but that involves modding the drivers, not something that can be done easily.

the one near the usb ports is on the mobo
it will only use the igp/apu on the mobo/cpu not the dedicated gpu

get a dp/dvi to hdmi adapter

What is a white VGA port anyway? Isn’t VGA port usually blue? Or did you mean DVI port?
Does you graphic card have any other ports unoccupied? DisplayPort maybe? If so,get a DP to HDMI adapter, that will solve your problem.

white/black is normally dvi

a = analog only
d = didgital only
i = digital and analog
dual link = 2x the bandwidth of single link

DVI is white, VGA is blue
Connect every device to the dedicated GPU card, not any video ports on the Motherboard.

If you need more then one HDMI, connect the VR to hdmi, connect the TV via DisplayPort via a DP to HDMI adapter to the gpu and connect to tv via hdmi male to male cable
