HDMI-2 Port Not Detected

Hello. I have been using dual monitors for a few months now with Manjaro 21.0. I use the DP1 and HDMI2 ports, but today the HDMI2 port is no longer being detected by xrandr. I know the HDMI cable is not broken because whenever I unplug it from my laptop, the monitor lights up saying it has been disconnected.

Running xrandr gives the following output: (Note: I am missing HDMI2, not HDMI1)

I appreciate any help with this issue. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

When pasting terminal output, highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> button, not the Quote " button.

Alternatively, add three backticks ` above and below the text:

Please edit your post accordingly.

I just reformatted the post. Thanks!

Have you tried another cable? Have you tried connecting the monitor to another port either on the same machine or another?

Yes, I have tried a new cable and also tried the current cable on another a different machine, and it works fine. I don’t have another port on my current machine. I also believe the port on my current machine is working because whenever I plug the cable in, the monitor lights up. However, the monitor says the port it has been plugged into is inactive.

FYI, that kernel was EOL (End Of Life) last December. I suggest installing the latest stable kernel (5.11) or an LTS kernel (5.10 or 5.4). It’s good to have more than one installed as fallback.
