Apple USB-C Hub - HDMI not working as Expected

Hi. I bought my new Macbook Air M1 and the Apple USB-C Hub with HDMI, however when I try connecting it to my second Monitor via HDMI it is in black screen and says no signal but when I try to use a diffrent brand like Adam, the HDMI is working. Need help.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Macbook Pro- Unable to detect second HDMI external display through USB C adaptor I am running into issues with my macbook pro (M1, 2020, macOS Monterey 12.3.1) and trying to detect my second monitor. For reference, I have two external monitors I am trying to use, using two USB C adaptors and for some reason my macbook pro will only connect to one. The other one says 'no signal' then goes blank. It is not a faulty USB C adapter because I have the macbook charger connected to the one where the HDMI for the monitor is not displaying, and it is charing my macbook so the adapter itself is working, it just cannot detect the HDMI. It's almost as if this macbook pro cannot detect two HDMI's at the same time because when I unplug the USB C adapter that is working, the macbook pro after a couple of seconds, will detect the one that initially wasn't working. My 2019 macbook air (also on macOS Monterey 12.3.1) can detect both of the adapters fine and will connect and display both monitors so not entirely sure why my macbook pro cannot.

Mac mini M2 HDMI port not working I can only drive my display with an HDMI cable If i connect a USB-C hub to the mac mini USB-C port and drive the display from the HDMI on the hub. So mini >> USBC >> HUB>>HDMI>>Display works. I've done this with 2 cables, 1 old, and 1 brand new that supports 8K video. My monitor is a 2K device with a max refresh rate of 75Hz If I go Mini>>HDMI>>Display it doesn't work If I use HDMI directly and hold down the power button for ten seconds I do see the display flash briefly and show the setup screen. Right now I'm burning a USB C port for the display where HDMI would work just fine [Re-Titled by Moderator]

HDMI port not working on my brand new MacBook Pro M1-Pro (2021) I can't get the HDMI port on my brand new MacBook Pro M1-Pro (2021) to work. Is there something special that is required to activate it? I've tried three different cables on three different displays. All of which work with my other computers. When plugging it into the MBP's HDMI port nothing happens and eventually the displays go to sleep for lack of signal. I can still use an external display over the USB-C to HDMI, but it will be really annoying if I already have to get this hardware serviced after just three days.

Hi there rpaulcb28,

We understand you're looking for help connecting multiple external displays to your MacBook Air.

The M1 MacBook Air officially supports one external display with up to 6k resolution. You can find this information in the technical specifications for the device: MacBook Air - Technical Specifications - Apple

Additional information regarding connecting a display via HDMI is available here: Connect to HDMI from your Mac

We hope this helps!
