Question about Microsoft Surface Pro X
I have treated myself to this device and can live very well with the limitations. In principle, I am very satisfied with it. However, there is one thing that puzzles me: I also have a Surface Go and have connected it to a Samsung TV and it can also be connected to my PC screen without any problems using the cable I bought for it (USB C to HDMI, manufacturer HAMA), but not the new Surface Pro X. I have an adapter and when I then connect the device via an adapter (JAMA), I have no problems. I have an adapter and when I then connect the device via adapter (J5create) and HMDI cable, the connection works! I suspect it's the cable, which somehow doesn't support the USB port on the device. What could be the cause? What should be done to the cable? Has anyone else had this problem and perhaps solved it? I have a description of the cable here: https://www.microspot.ch/de/--c524000/hama-usb-c-hdmi-kabel-1-8m--p0001412545 I would appreciate any tips...
What I found was the difference between the Surface Go and the Pro X:
the USB-C on the Go is a USB-C version 3.1, on the Pro it is a USB-C version 3.2.
For the Hama cable, I couldn't find what version it is, but I suspect it's a USB-C version 3.1.
In this case, a cable with USB-C version 3.2 should solve the problem.
The version 3.2 cable should then also be compatible with the 3.1 (mostly well compatible with older versions, less so with newer ones).
