After updating to El Capitan on my Mac Mini the HDMI port no longer works.
I have two monitors set up - one over Thunderbolt and one over HDMI.
After the update the HDMI port seems dead. Only Thunderbolt works.
I have tried multiple cables. After downgrading back to Yosemite the HDMI port works again.
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
What model Mini?
Have you tried:
- Resetting the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
- Try starting in Safe Mode
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
- Boot to Recovery and repair the startup disk
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
- Reinstalling EC?

This is my configuration
I had the same issue with my 2015 mac book pro. I just shut down and restarted it, now it works fine. Just like before the update
IM encountering the same problem on my 2015 13" MBP. Restarting hasn't helped.
Sorry komets26, but if a simple restart would have helped I would not have posted the Problem!
I'm also getting the following message surrounding sound preference pane not loading... It seems to be happening to a number of people out there on the internet.
Resetting NVRAM did the trick!!!
Thank you lllaass !!!
Hey there. I'm still having this same problem. I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM. Anyone else still experiencing problems with their HDMI output?
I imagine the problem is HDMI even though my MacPro does not have an HDMI port, but my Wacom 27GHD Cintiq touch is outputting HDMI into a display port adapter.
I have just fixed a related problem on my mac: the HDMI to HDMI was giving 'no signal' on my samsung hdtv, after many previous months of working properly.
The fix that worked for me is very simple: I went into System Preferences -> Displays, and changed the 'scaling' to the setting above 'default'. I then restarted (with HDMI cable attached). A few seconds after restarting, the picture from my mac appeared on the TV.
Now, going into Preferences -> Displays, I can see the options for the samsung that were absent during the problem.
Prior to this fix, I reset the SMC and NVRAM as suggested, but found no improvement from this.
Hope this saves others hours from wasting hours on this, as I just have.
Yes. Annoying.
