TROUBLESHOOTING
There is no video signal shown on the display. How do I fix this?
1. Our driver may not be installed or is out of date. Install the latest
driver from StarTech.com’s website.
2. The primary display adapter for the computer has an outdated or basic driver
installed. Update the video driver using the manufacturer’s support site.
3. The product requires an existing video controller (onboard or discrete) from
Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA. The video controller must have a WDDM (Windows
Display Driver Model), compatible driver. Most video controllers from 2008
or newer will meet this requirement.
4. An incompatible operating system is being used (i.e., MCT based adapter and
macOS). If using a Mac, we recommend exchanging the product for a
DisplayLink based version.
5. The display connected to the StarTech.com adapter is set to the wrong video
input. Use the display’s on-screen display menu to select the correct input.
6. The following only applies to computers running Windows 8.1 or older
operating systems. USB video adapters and some USB docking stations use
different chipsets (ex. DisplayLink/Synaptics, MCT, Fresco, Silicon Motion).
They will not work together on the same computer. If you are running into
problems trying to use multiple USB video products, please check our Tech
Specs to determine which chipset each product uses. If they do not match,
then they will not work together.

The video signal is not clear or a portion is cut off. How do I fix this?
1. If using a display with VGA input, use the On-Screen Display menu to perform
an auto-adjust of the image.
2. Adjust the resolution to be the exact resolution and refresh rate
recommended by the display manufacturer.
opens in new window
I’m not able to install the driver. How do I fix this?
Your user account may require administrator privileges to install the driver.
If the computer is managed by the IT department or service provider, they may
need to be contacted to help with this step.

Why can't I playback Netflix or other HDCP content with my USB video adapter?
Playback of HDCP content is not supported. Content from Netflix, Amazon Prime
Video, Disney+, iTunes, Hulu, etc. may not work on USB-connected displays. We
recommend using these apps on displays connected to your video card or
motherboard. If using a laptop, use the integrated display, or the video ports
built-in to the laptop.
opens in new window
Audio is not working. How do I fix this?
Ensure the Sound Playback device in Windows (or Output device in macOS) has been
set to be our USB audio device.

Everything is hooked up but nothing is working. What should I do? (Windows)
Play video
When you troubleshoot issues with a USB video adapter, there are some quick
tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make
sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source
of the issue:
* Video cables
* Video source
* Video destination
* USB video adapter
To test your setup components, try the following:
* Use the video cables, video source, video destination, and USB video adapter
in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
* Use a different video cable, video source, video destination, and USB video
adapter in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should
test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
* Test each cable individually.
* Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video cables, video source, video destination, and USB video
adapter, it is recommended that you do the following:
* Check Device Manager under Display adapters, Universal Serial Bus
controllers, or USB Display adapters. To do this, press the Windows key + R,
type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager.
* If you do not see the USB video adapter in Device Manager, refer to the
following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/en-us/faq/usb-cannot-detect-windows.
* If the device is listed with an error, reinstall the drivers following the
instructions on the website.
* Check to see if your video card drivers are current. You can check what video
card you have in Device Manager under Display adapters. It is recommended
that you go directly to the video card manufacturer's website to check for
the latest drivers.
* Check to see if the monitor is being detected by Windows.
To check to see if Windows is detecting the monitor using a computer that is
running a version of Windows XP, do the following:
* Right-click on the desktop and click Properties.
* Click the Settings tab.
* If you see Drag the monitor icons to match the physical arrangement of your
monitors, it means that Windows is detecting more than a single monitor. You
can click the drop-down menu under Display to see which monitors are
detected. This option is not available if Windows only detects a single
monitor.
To check to see if Windows is detecting the monitor using a computer that is
running a version of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, do the following:
* Right-click on the desktop and click Screen Resolution.
* You can click the drop-down menu under Display to see which monitors are
detected.

Why does one of my connected displays turn off when my USB video adapter is
connected?
While the purpose of our USB Video Adapters are to add an additional video
output to your laptop or desktop computer, these adapters still require some
resources from your internal video card. On a small number of video cards,
adding a USB Video Adapter can exceed the limit of available resources, causing
one of the connected displays to turn off.
As a possible workaround for this issue, we recommend using a more powerful USB
Video Adapter that has a higher amount of integrated RAM, such as our
USB32VGAPRO (512MB), USB32DVIPRO (512MB), or USB32HDDVII (1GB).

Will my touchscreen / all-in-one computer work with a USB Video Adapter?
Touchscreen Monitors
A mixture of touchscreen and non-touchscreen displays can cause a conflict with
your internal video card. Because of this limitation, touchscreen functions may
be disabled when the USB Video Adapter is connected, or the USB Video Adapter
may not work at all. Contact the manufacturer of your system to confirm whether
your specific model can support a secondary display or not.
All-in-One Computers
Many all-in-one computer systems limit the number of possible monitors to one.
This is a limitation in how all-in-one computers are typically manufactured, so
adding an external display may not be possible regardless of which USB video
adapter is used. Contact the manufacturer of your system to confirm whether your
specific model can support a secondary display or not.

Why am I experiencing issues with remote desktop software and USB video
adapters?
When you use remote desktop software to access a computer with a USB video
adapter, keep the following things in mind:
* Not all remote desktop software supports multiple monitors.
* Not all remote desktop software supports monitors that use USB video
adapters.
* If the primary monitor is a monitor that uses a USB video adapter, you might
run into problems. If you do, try to continue to log in as the display might
come back once you log in.

VIDEO
What is the difference between mirroring, spanning, and extending monitors?
Mirroring monitors means that you see the same thing on multiple monitors.
Spanning monitors means that your computer interprets all of the monitors that
are spanning as one giant monitor. You can see different things on each monitor,
and your desktop, taskbar, Start menu, and background are stretched across the
monitors.
Extending monitors means that your computer interprets the monitors that you are
extending as separate devices. You can see different things on each monitor, and
your desktop background is displayed on each monitor.
In general, video splitters can only be used to mirror monitors. If you want to
extend your desktop across monitors, you need to make a separate video
connection for each monitor that you are attaching. If you want to attach more
monitors than your computer has video ports for, you can read about USB Video
Adapters here: www.startech.com/AV/USB-Video-Adapters/.
If you are using a video card with a DisplayPort connection that supports
DisplayPort 1.2 you can use MST hubs from StarTech.com to extend your desktop to
each monitor.
