iPad OS 17 HDMI out not working

Just updated to OS17 on iPad - seems good until tried HDMI lighting out and no video or audio. Tested with multiple HDMI cables - no luck. Cables and dongle work with devices NOT yet upgraded to OS17.


This is not an app issue. There is ZERO video or audio.


A search shows that this problem seems to crop up with previous updates.


Help?

For what it's worth, having tested connection of iPad Pro models with an external monitor via both a USB-C to HDMI Adapter - and a USB-C hub with in integrated HDMI port, I've not encountered any issues of this nature with iPadOS 17.x.


If you are experiencing difficulties having performed the update, try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear post-update or isolated software issues:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.





If you continue to experience difficulties after performing a restart, you might be well advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.


Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
