Xbox One HDMI to DVI not working

[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.

[quote user="iRayDawg"]However DVI is not compatible with Xbox since it does not support HDCP protocol.[/quote]DVI handles HDCP just fine. HDCP support is dependent on the devices, not HDMI or DVI. This is really neither here nor there as he's talking about
a specific company (DVI Gear) and not a DVI cable. The cable is HDMI.



While rare, I have come across an HDMI cable that worked on one device, but not on another. If things are marginal enough, they may not work properly. There are two inputs on the TV that support HDMI. Both should be tried. The 360 should be set to 720p as
the TV's a 1366x768 display. 720p is the closest to the native resolution of the display.

The VGA cable works for the xbox, but an HDMI to DVI cable is not supported by the system, hence no official xbox brand ones in existence.

If your xbox has hdmi the get a dvi to hdmi cable or dvi to hdmi converter.

[quote user="iiMr Beatbox"]Does the audio adapter cable block the HDMI port on the xbox 360 S[/quote]The thin HDMI AV adapter does not block the HDMI port. The AV port configuration is the same on the 360 S as on the original 360.

Hassassinade, you
said i should use the HDMI to DVI adapter for quality. BUT the thing was i was talking about was the converter, not the adapter.

There is zero quality loss using an HDMI to DVI adapter of any type. HDMI is digital. If it doesn't work (defective cable
or adapter) it will be quite obvious.

But what came up was DVI-I or DVI-D and stuff like that wih letters at the end. Is there no difference of choosing or is there a difference?

HDMI is only digital. DVI-D or DVI-I doesn't matter as the HDMI
side only supports the pins used on a DVI-D connector. DVI-I just has extra physical pins, but those do nothing if the other end is HDMI. The one to stay away from is DVI-A, which is only analog and only works with VGA. An HDMI to DVI-A cable does nothing.
It's a scam.

I heard the audio adapter cable makes you reset your console upon a different input. For example when you turn off your tv then it reboots itself. Does this only happen to 3rd party or the official microsoft one.

Reports are that
it happens with third party adapters. I've never had an issue with the several Microsoft ones that I have.
