HDMI with Asrock Z87 Extreme4 mobo

[JimLS]

Have this motherboard with no additional graphics card. Have been using VGA output but wanted to switch to HDMI. When I connected the HDMI cable I got no output. I looked around in the startup screens and couldn't find any options for HDMI. How do I enable HDMI? Another option would be DVI - how do I enable it?

It should simply auto detect a monitor when it's plugged in there, there's nothing special to configure.

Just making sure you're plugging it into the HDMI "OUT" port and NOT the HDMI "IN" port.

So use the horizontally oriented port under the display port, not the HDMI port that is vertical to the axis. Page 13 of the English manual

That's the connector I am trying to use. I thought it should autodetect but it doesn't seem to. If I just connect the HDMI out to the monitor I don't get anything. I have restarted the PC thinking it may detect it at startup but still no luck. What else should I be checking?

In the chipset configuration menu in BIOS , is the IGPU set to enabled? (I know, it should be , but is it) Under the same menu is the HDMI audio turned on? The latest BIOS is 3.40 , are you running that?

try turning your hdmi cable around ?? I've seen that work like the cable was directional .. I find hdmi to be flakily and can be a pain to use at time for what ever reasons , try the dvi as well to be sure it just not a board issue as well , should work native . [asrock ex6 z87 user ]

to use HDMI /DVI onboard first thing your CPU must have GPU intergrated. if not it will be no display at all.
check what is your CPU ?

Since he was using the VGA output on the mobo, it has an iGPU.

I also forgot to add you know theres a hdmi ''in'' and a hdmi ''out '' on the back panel I guess you got it in the out hdmi port ??

I also added a link to what I said above to show I'm not pulling your leg on reversing the cable ?

good luck
