Most problems arise from having an incomplete Trivia Kit. – Missing cables, incorrect adapters, etc.
Common problems & fixes:
- USB Mixer not working
- Use an aux cable to go from the laptop directly to the speaker & plug the microphone directly into the speaker
- OR – Route the system audio out the HDMI to the TVs for the music, and use the speaker & microphone completely separate
- TVs are showing the same thing as the laptop screen
- Windows Key + P = Choose EXTEND Desktop
- Some or ALL of the TVs are blank / no-signal when switched to DJ Trivia
- Double check that the 2nd display on the laptop (the TVs), is set to the resolution 1280×720.
The laptop will want to default to 1920×1080, but not every bar has newer 1080p TVs. Making sure the TV resolution is set to 720p (1280×720) will fix that.
