Hey ya'll, subject says most of it. How and why don't these two ports work, and how do I get them to. The product is advertised as having 5 multi-monitor support but notes it "may require an active adapter", which makes no sense to me, if it's referring to the two inactive HDMI ports. Can I get the gpu to support these outputs??
Unless this is fixed I'll have to make do buying a Displayport cable, but I'm not happy about it.

Its specs
https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05686933
which says
The Basswood motherboard does not support integrated graphics.
Therefore two HDMI ports on the motherboard won't work. It has 3 HDMI ports:
- One from AMD Radeon RX 550 video card
- Two from motherboard
and the following 2 ports won't work
- USB 2.0: 2
- LAN (Ethernet)
- HDMI out: 2
- USB 3.0: 2
- Audio: Line in
- Audio: Line out
- Audio: Microphone
You can connect up to 5 monitors BUT the specs says "Full multi display support might require an active adapter." but at least you can use DL-DVI + HDMI + DisplayPort ports on the AMD Radeon RX 550 video card.
Hope this explains why ONLY one HDMI port is working.
Regards.
