Re: Lyrics Screen is Blank on secondary display
Hi Roy,
No problem, and thanks for the suggestions. Since a similar thing happens with Windows Media Player (in that I get a black screen on the secondary), it is most likely a problem with the Sabrent USB Adapter or driver. It does not seem to be sending everything over to the secondary screen. For instance, if I drag MS word over there it works fine. Even the main Hoster display seems to work fine as does the intermission screen. The Lyrics, however do not (even in the little preview screen on hoster).
I've posted a ticket with Sabrent, and we will see how they respond. As laptops get replaced, other users may run into a similar problem (the lack of a VGA output), so I'll keep trying to figure out a soultion. I'm pretty sure that if my laptop had a VGA output, I would not have this problem (all the darn thing has are two HDMI outputs). The HDMI to Component converter is a pretty low cost solution (about $40 dollars, US), and I am pretty sure that it will work (since the main HDMI works fine). In the meantime, it works fine as long as I run the secondary monitor directly off of the HDMI that is built in.
