Well that explains a lot of why it was god damn flaky (I never could quite believe it was my wireless network).Īnd literally that is the only reason my pc can't do it, because it doesn't have a wifi card at all. So, when I did it with my laptop it was actually directly connecting to the tv and skipping out the router and my network then. Muchos grassy ass for any help and support.

Tl drSo, I suppose what I'm asking is, what exactly is needed for screen mirroring to work? Would I have to upgrade to an mobo with intel chipset, and of course intel CPU? Or is it merely the fact I'm connected via ethernet and not wifi? Is there any way around this without doing any hardware changes? Since I don't really understand why Miracast has to be supported by the CPU or chipset when, in my minds eye, it's a graphical thing, so surely it's the graphics card that should be doing the all the work?

My sabertooth doesn't have any of those things of course (I don't even have a wireless card in the system and I don't think the mobo has one built in either). Is that something to do with it? Since my laptop had an intel CPU and intel chipset in it, but it also had an intel wireless card. That said, I don't know if AMD's offering is the same thing as Miracast - it would have to be to work with my TV I think.īut then there's the fact I have a sabertooth, with the nvidia 990fx chipset.

They have a tool you can download to detect hardware and then download software for it but when I run it it just says it can't detect any compatible hardware and leaves me hanging. The other thing is I have a AMD 'AM3+' CPU and although AMD apparently has there own screen mirroring functionality they appear to only support it with there APU's. But then I thought, well it worked with my laptop but I was connecting both devices wirelessly and I never tried to do it over ethernet before I got rid of the laptop so. I Googled it and, from some sources it seems like the technology is only supposed to work over WiFi? I figured that can't be actually true. What I don't quite get here is exactly why my PC doesn't support Miracast. I should note at this point that I am connected via Ethernet with my PC and so is my TV now (having previously being wireless, I decided what with it being less than four foot away from the router being wireless was absolutely pointless). I had a feeling Miracast wouldn't work on it and sure enough, I get the message in the title when I go through the same route to try and connect to the TV. I assumed it was just the hardware in the laptop or perhaps the TV's WiFi ability that was the culprit (also the laptop could only connect via 2.4Ghz where as my TV was connected via 5GHz so that also might have been the culprit).Īnyway I ended up getting rid of that laptop for various reasons and eventually finished building my el cheapo AMD PC. So signal issues on the WiFi shouldn't have ever been an issue. I have a pretty damn good wireless network and I would be sitting right next to the router when I was attempting this (and the TV was only of course a few foot away too). It did work when it worked but it was flaky as shit when it worked and sometimes it wouldn't work at all.

Basically, my samsung tv has a channel you select for screen mirroring and then on my laptop I was able to just click on the notifications thing down on the right hand side of the task bar and select 'connect' and I could choose to do screen mirroring with the TV after picking some more options about how to connect or something.

I kind of know how Miracast works, I had a laptop with an Intel core i7 or some such and a nvidia dedicated 940m (I forget the exact details) that I used to do screen mirroring the same way I tried with my PC. And I'm guessing that's why Miracast isn't supported. I built an AMD computer because I'm cheap. I won't bother listing hard drive, psu etc as I'm pretty sure none of that is relevant to my issue. My parts list (just the bits that I'm guessing matter)
