XBox One X works only on 1 port out of all the devices i've tried to connect it to

Hi again Omri

Try the following steps: Use a different HDMI cable.

1. Check that the HDMI cable is properly connected to both devices.

1) Turn off the TV and the source device.

2) Disconnect the HDMI cable from both devices.

3) Reconnect the HDMI cable to both devices.

4) Turn on the TV and the source device.

2. Try to connect the HDMI cable to another port on the TV or source device.

1) Turn off the TV or source device.

2) Disconnect the HDMI cable from the current port.

3) Connect the HDMI cable to another port.

4) Turn on the TV or source device.

3. Connect another device to the same HDMI port to see if the problem persists.

1) Turn off the TV.

2) Connect another device to the HDMI port you are using.

3) Turn on the TV.

If you have tried all of these solutions and still get the "HDMI not connected" message, there may be a problem with the TV or source device. In this case, you will need to contact the manufacturer's technical support for assistance.

Hi Omri, my name is Oskayra I am happy to answer your question.

It is possible that you do not have HDMI enabled on your console, try the following:

1) Press the Xbox button  to open the Guide.

2) Select Profile & System > Settings > General > Audio & Video Output > TV & A/V Control Settings.

3)In the first column, select HDMI.
Make sure that Refresh Rate: Auto Detect appears in the second column.

Another problem could be that the HDMI cable is defective try testing it with another device.

Or your TV is not in HDMI mode.

Hi Oskayra,

I've used the same cable. On multiple devices that would accept other devices but the Xbox one x.

A Nintendo switch is connected successfully with a cable to the tv. I've switched it to the Xbox one x but the tv doesn't recognize a signal.

Hi,

Not all TV's support HDR on all HDMI connections.

On my Sony Bravia 4K TV, only two out of the four support HDR even though they all support 4K resolution.

This could very well be the issue,

I have a Samsung 4K HDR TV, with 4 HDMI 2.0 ports, but only one of my port's supports HDR, ( HDMI 1 ),

If i want to use to my PS4pro with HDR, i have it in HDMI 1, but then if i want to use my Xbox One X with HDR, i have to swap my HDMI cable's around, so that my Xbox One X is now in HDMI 1,

Best check the TV's manual to find out which HDMI port uses HDR,

Or try connect the Xbox One X into the HDMI port where you're PS4pro is, and see if HDR then works.

I had a similar problem it came down to inadequate work on my tv the solder wasnt good enuf so my connection from console to tv was failing i had to get a new tv but if it is this problem then it is easy to fix i you no how to solder

It's definitely the Xbox One X as I've tried an Xbox One S using the same HDMI cable in the same HDMI port on the TV. I've even tried other devices using HDMI in the 3 HDMI TV ports, all work. So it's not a TV fault. Thanks for the reply though.
