GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 No DVI Output

[waggiecam]

I have a GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 with the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Processor with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics. I am trying to set up for dual monitors and only the HDMI out works. I have the second monitor plugged into the DVI out and I can't get any signal. I am trying to use the onboard outputs instead of a separate GPU.

Are you using any adapters (eg DVI to VGA) for the second monitor which is connected to DVI output?


DVI output on that motherboard is DVI-D which means it's a digital output only, so if you want to connect it to analog D-SUB VGA port on monitor, you have to use an "Active" adapter which converts the digital output to analog for the monitor. A Non-active (ie no converter) adapter won't work in that situation.

I have both a DVI-D (dual link) to HDMI adapter and a DVI-D (single link) to HDMI adapter that I am trying to use. Neither of them will display any output from my motherboard.
