I have multiple HDMI devices that I would like to use with my monitor, including my laptop, so I have them connected via an HDMI switcher. My other devices work fine, but my XPS L502X doesn't recognize the monitor as being connected. When I go into my display options, it only shows my laptop screen, and detecting devices doesn't help. If I connect the HDMI cable directly from my laptop to the monitor, it works fine. Are there any ways to force the laptop to detect the monitor? It seems odd that just because there's a switch in the middle, that it would fail to connect.
