I have an HDMI KVM 2*1 Switch (DC powered)
I connect my PC to one port and it switches through to monitor fine.
Mouse & keyboard via USB work fine.
I have tested on both port PC1 and PC2 to make sure OK.
I then connect my new Laptop (Dell Latitude 7390)
Mouse & keyboard work to it fine, but no video feed to monitor.
If I connect Laptop direct to monitor it works fine, so I have been able to prove all cables are good, and Laptop HDMI socket.
If I go to settings on Laptop β¦. It does not detect a monitor when connected to the KVM.
If I plug direct into monitor it works (and is detected)
This is the same on PC1 or PC2.
My PC works fine to either port β¦.. assumption is something is blocking Dell laptop from seeing monitor connected.
I have 2 identical KVM switches β¦both proven OK .. both have same issue with this Dell laptop
Assume itβs related to EDID pass through on KVM β¦ but strange other PC/Laptop work OK.
