Split hdmi signal on MacBook

So I am using a dual monitor setup with my MacBook Pro 16 (wich is closed and loading while working). I bought the ICY BOX IB-DK2106-C with two hdmi outputs, but the displays are synchronized and I can't change that in the settings because the MacBook doesn't recognize the two displays. (Drivers are already installed). My goal is to obviously split the signals so I can use both displays efficiently without using another small hdmi adapter.

Best regards

MacBook Pro

Trying to use two displays with a MacMini I've been using 2 displays with my MacMini for years without a problem. Just connected two new Philips' through a HDMI splitter and now they only mirror each other. How do I separate them, so I have 2 screens worth of "real estate?"

macbook dual monitors Hi I have been using my 2016 12" Macbook with an external monitor for ages and have acquired a second monitor. Both displays use HDMI to VGA cables with an external power source plugged into a separate usb plug for power to the monitors. I have bought a HDMI splitter to plug into the macbook and then plug both of the monitors into that. Both monitors work perfectly on their own but when i use the splitter, neither of them work. Am i doing something wrong (ie. does USB-C not support 2 HDMI outputs) or should it work and maybe the splitter is just broken. I dont want to buy another one if it will not work at all. Many thanks for clarification, the setup is: Macbook USB-C to HDMI to HDMI SPLITTER with each monitor plugged into that.
