#Video to vga converter broke driver#

I would prefer not having to buy a new amp.So i recently bought a USB to VGA adapter to get a 2 monitor setup with my gaming laptop, after i installed the driver the adapter wouldn't work the screen was off and windows made the disconnect and connect sound over and over. I've checked the specs and the supported resolutions seem to be compatible, and the adapter claims to handle HDCP (1.0/1.1/1.2).

So something happens when the adapter recieves the HDMI signal from the amp. Some adapters are smart enough to downscale, some aren't.

Is there any way you can hook the amp up to a display that supports 1080p, check the settings on the amp and see if you can change it? It's also possible that when you plug it in, it 'negotiates' with the adapter, and the adapter says it's 1080p, so the amp sends 1080p which the adapter just passes the signal along. It's possible that it is trying to output 1080p, so the projector doesn't know what to make of it. Your projector looks like it should support 720p, but I can't see too many details about your amp's video output. Next thing that could be off is the resolution. It's also possible that even if you ordered the right one, they might have sent you the wrong version. There are HDMI to VGA adapters, but they also make VGA to HDMI adapters. The adapter you linked looks like it should work, however, you might want to double check your specific adapter. I would prefer not having to buy a new amp. If I connect through the amp to a HDMI monitor everything works fine also, so a signal is coming from the amp. I have checked with several HDMI cables and the results are consistant, so there's nothing wrong with any cables or the adapter. I've discovered however that if I connect Computer->HDMI cable->adapter->monitor(vga) directly, not through the amp, I get a working signal to the monitor! If I listen to the audio out from the adapter I just get strange noise. Monitor sometimes goes black and then goes back to 'no signal'. To refresh: If I connect Computer->HDMI cable->Amp->HDMI cable->adapter->monitor(vga) I get no signal. But when the amp sends the signal to the adapter something goes wrong. There seems to be no faulty devices or cables anywhere. So some continuation on this: I've tried some stuff based on the answers to this question - thanks a lot for answering! Here are links to specifications of the projector and the amp My question is: Am I trying to set this up incorrectly or could the adapter be broken? Thought I'd ask reddit before spending any more money. The projector and monitors are tested and working. One of the monitors have a HDMI port and if I use that directly I get signal, so the cable is ok. I have tried connecting to two other monitors but it's the same there, I get no signal. Occationally there seems to come a signal for a fraction of a second but it just looks like a black screen and then goes back to the blue 'no signal' one. So I bought an adapter very similar to this but plugging it all in(adapter at ) I am getting 'no signal' to the projector. And then have console and htpc connect to amp with HDMI. The plan was to set it up like so ->HDMI cable->->.

I also have a long (10m) HDMI cable(Standard HDMI with Ethernet) I intend to use to connect to a Yamaha SR-301. I have an old video projector(Epson EB-W7) that has a VGA(Component video) input.
