MDC1961 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 its worked before but I cannot remember where to plug the headset into----which port?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthesis Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 You can see in the image, the shape of the HDMI port. Please use that. Obviously, this isn't the layout of the ports on your desktop, but it should give you some idea. If you're still having trouble, take a photo of the ports on your laptop and post it in this thread and I'll identify the correct port.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthesis Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It looks like you have a HDMI cable plugged in already. Is that a NVIDIA 1060 graphics card? I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you have used the HDMI port on the graphics card for your monitor? If you can connect your monitor via one of the other ports you can free up the HDMI slot.Thank you, -John C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDC1961 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 GTX 1070 If I can connect my monitor via one of the other ports, you can free up the HDMI slot. I tried but it doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 If I understand this correctly, your monitor requires an HDMI output and your Vive also requires one? You can use a male DVI-D -> female HDMI converter to turn that DVI output into an HDMI output. Always try to plug the Vive directly into the GPU since some adapters are incompatible. I can't tell by the supplied photo but it looks like you may have DisplayPort as well which uses this type of cable to connect to the Vive but I typically use HMDI.
