I recently upgraded my system, which included a new Connect 3D Radeon 9600 pro video card. When I went to use the tv-out port to connect my PC to my TV, I couldn't get anything to display, and in fact the card wouldn't even detect that it was plugged into the TV. I used the same s-video cables that worked fine with my old card, but it wouldn't work.
To test if the port was defective or not, I used the included s-video to composite converter to hook up to my TV, and it worked fine. But obviously the quality isn't as good as pure s-video, so I would like to figure out what the problem is.
In comparing the s-video converter with my existing s-video cables, I noticed that my old cables have the standard 4 pins, while the converter has 7 pins. Is this what is causing my problems? Is there an easy fix, or do I need some sort of 7 pin to 4 pin converter? Thanks for the help.
