9600GT TV-Out Problems

Filed under: Hardware, Troubleshooting, Windows — Bhavya on May 25, 2008 @ 11:04 pm

I recently got a 9600GT for the purpose of playing certain games on my computer, and since putting it into my machine, I’ve had a really good experience. Yesterday, however, I tried hooking my TV up to my desktop so a friend of mine could watch a movie while I worked, and no matter what I tried, nothing seemed to work. I tried fiddling with the options in the Nvidia control panel but it remained undetected. I tried rolling back drivers to the default ones used by Vista. I then tried reinstalling the drivers (to version 175.16), and that didn’t work either. I was seriously on the verge of giving up till I found this.

It seems that a lot of new video cards send out a signal via the first pin of their s-video out port and wait for a return signal via the third pin to check if a TV is actually there. Not all TVs, however, seem to realise this, which was definitely true in the case of my tv (such a relief)!

	A warm welcome to Karmabubble.com, the humble abode of forgotten designs, finally rescued from the depths of paint-chipped cabinets, handle-less drawers, and old harddrives. Hopefully you will find some of these works thought-provoking, perhaps even inspiring, and, if not, charming at the very least. Within these pages, you will find the following products of my imagination: digital art, photography, templates, software, and occasional musings which I have deemed fit to share. All my work is here before you, for you to scrutinize or to sit back and just regard. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you enjoy your stay.
