Since I have only 2 hdmi ports on the back of my tv I have to use an hdmi splitter for my PS4, direct tv receiver, DVD player, etc. My tv only sees my PC if it’s directly plugged into the tv and not going through the hdmi splitter. How do I make it so my PC sees the tv through the splitter?
This one stumped me as well until I realized it happened when I switched to the hdmi input after turning my computer on….when I started having the tv on and on the input I use for the computer when switching the computer on this resolved all my problems.
Thanks yaddamaster
I also tried every single solution in Windows, till I found yours: a simple unplug of the Samsung TV from the Wall.
I tried everything – rolling back drivers, uninstalling the drivers, etc. Nothing worked. I have a surface pro and a surfacebook and they both wouldn’t connect to my Samsung. I have another HD (and old Sharp) and it connected just fine. They both connected to monitors. But nothing worked with the Samsung.
I had power cycled many times – nothing. I had reset the tv – nothing.
Finally, on a whim I physically unplugged the Samsung. Not just turned it off but unplugged and then plugged it back in.
And just like that – everything started working. Yay samsung. 🙁
