USB 3 to HDMI not working

By Emma Valentine

I am trying to connect my acer monitor to lenovo laptop for display using HDMI cable of acer monitor using this devise: . It's not working. I can directly connect acer HDMI to the lenovo laptop, and it seem to work fine but with this multi adapter USB 3.0 it's not working. First, I thought there is some issue with the mutli-adapter, but I can connect my mouse or keyboard to the usb port of the multi-adapter and when connected to my laptop it works fine.So issue is with the HDMI port of the multi-adapter.

I searched for a solution, found this: , so followed instructions here:

I was able to install everything without any error. After this, I rebooted my system and inserted HMDI cable to USB 3.0 multi-adapter again to test, but still its not working.

Earlier on Ubuntu 20 I tested, I was having the same issue. Now I am running Ubuntu 21. Also, Ubuntu is my primary OS, I am not running any dual boot.
