Check hdmi cables ports and usb connection.
Oculus hdmi cable not detected.
If you re already using your hdmi port for your display or your graphics card doesn t have an hdmi port try the following options.
If even this doesn t help you in solving your problems with hdmi i do not know how to help you further sorry.
Open the oculus app and then try to connect your headset again.
As we mentioned before we should ensure the rift s hdmi cable is plugged into the port on your graphics card instead of the motherboard.
The trouble and fix lie in device manager.
Restart the oculus app on your pc computer.
If you haven t already swap out your hdmi cable for a hi speed hdmi cable with a speeds of at least 10 2 gbps but preferably 18 gbps.
This is the hdmi connector that represents the problem and we have to push it so that it makes a better contact.
If this helped you i m very glad to have been useful to you.
Basically i just got oculus rift but the hdmi port is not being detected on my laptop.
Check the oculus app to see if your hdmi cable is.
You ll likely notice that your headset and sensors aren t listed in the devices section of the oculus app and when you attempt to run the setup you ll find that nothing is detected even though everything is plugged in.
Yeah i know laptop but it is a msi gp72m 7rex leopard pro.
If you re not sure which hdmi port is which open up your case and have a look inside.
After rebooting if the issue that oculus rift no hdmi connection has not been resolved let us check the next solution.
I did my best.
Try contacting oculus support.
If the hdmi cable is currently plugged into your pc unplug it check the end for any damage and plug it back into the hdmi port on your gpu.
I forgot to mention uninstall steam vr first get rid of that thing it saves associations which will overwrite a fresh install of the oculus suite.
