HDMI to DVI not working

kjsdo · Nov 9, 2021

I've bought an adapter and I've plugged everything in. The signal doesn't go through. I've changed my settings to DVI already and also turned the console on in low resolution mode. The adapter is working since I've tried it with my PC with the same monitor. The cable is fine too. Am I missing something?

This doesn't seem to work. Something I've got wrong sorry, is it's actually outputting to DVI as I'm going from HDMI to a DVI monitor so it's detecting the DVI connection not the HDMI signal.

DVI-D is digital only. The port needs to be DVI-I for an unpowered VGA to DVI adapter to function.

Try an HDMI to DVI cable. That should work.

I connect it directly to the TV with hdmi.

If I use it with my monitor, i plug in a HDMI to DVI-D converter and DVI-D to my monitor.

I tried it with different hdmi cables, still not working.

I just had the same problem. It was down to the tv output being set to dvi rather than hdmi. Dvi doesn't carry audio so would require an optical cable.

Go in to picture setup and change it from DVI to HDMI

Hope it works

[quote user="I Berserker II"]@icestorm: ok, thanx. I also try a HDMI to DVI cable AND a DVI to VGA Adapter, so i get a HDMI to VGA.[/quote]That won't work.

DVI to VGA adapters are for use with DVI-I ports on video cards. The DVI standard provides for a version that has pins which carry VGA analog signals. DVI-I ports are pinned to provide that output. That's why HDMI to DVI to VGA doesn't work - the HDMI source
has no VGA analog signals to begin with.

For audio, you'll need a digital to analog audio adapter and the requisite cabling to connect the adapter to the Xbox One, as well as to whatever speakers you want to use. They're pretty easy to find on Amazon.
