Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal detected
Verify that both HDMI and DisplayPort cables are securely connected to the converter and the respective devices. Ensure the source device's HDMI output and the display device's DisplayPort input are selected and active. Check if the source device is outputting a supported resolution and refresh rate. Try a different HDMI cable or DisplayPort port.
Low resolution or incorrect display settings
Access the display settings on your source device (PC or laptop) and manually select the desired resolution and refresh rate, ensuring it is supported by the converter (e.g., 3840x2160@30Hz or lower). Reset display drivers on the source device if necessary.
Intermittent signal or flickering display
Check the integrity of the HDMI and DisplayPort cables. Ensure they are of good quality and properly seated. Reduce the length of the cables if possible. Confirm that the 4K resolution is not set to a refresh rate higher than 30Hz.
Audio not working
Ensure that audio output is configured to the HDMI source and that the DisplayPort connection is set to carry audio. Check the audio settings on both the source device and the display or connected audio system.
