    Dear friends,

    My M11X R3 doesn't send signal of both Video & Audio through HDMI port. The laptop does see the paired devices (such as HDMI TV, Projector) when I plugged them in but can't transmit the signal to show on those devices. However, the DisplayPort is working great on both Video & Audio (I use the DisplayPort to HDMI convertor).

    I would like to connect devices via HDMI port directly, pls help..

    Thanks

    reboot, plug HDMI into TV and then into m11x, do not close lid, as closing the lid fks it up at least for me. Could be something with drivers as well, so try reinstalling intel/nvidia graphics drivers.

    Last resort would be factory reset to see if its software issue at all, if it isn't sending it off to warranty.

    Hope it helps.
