Display alt mode
Since your full-featured USB cable works on your Mac but not on your Windows 11 PC for turning on your Huion Kamvas 13 Pro Gen 3, here’s what you should check:
- USB Power & Connection Issues
• Try a different USB port (preferably a USB 3.0 or USB-C port if available).
• Ensure your USB port provides enough power. Some Windows devices have power management settings that limit power output.
• Go to Device Manager → Universal Serial Bus controllers → Right-click each USB Root Hub → Properties → Power Management → Uncheck “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”
• Use a powered USB hub if your Windows device isn’t delivering enough power.
- Driver Issues
• Go to Device Manager → Look for any yellow warning signs under “Human Interface Devices” or “USB Controllers.”
• Update drivers manually:
• Right-click the Huion device (if detected) → Update driver → Choose Search automatically for drivers.
• You can also download the latest drivers from Huion’s website: Huion official site.
- Display & Power Settings
• If you are using a USB-C to USB-C connection, your Windows USB-C port must support DP Alt Mode (DisplayPort over USB-C).
• Check in Device Manager under Display Adapters and USB Controllers if DP Alt Mode is supported.
• Some Windows laptops only allow USB-C charging or data but not video output. Check your device’s specs.
• Try using HDMI + USB-A power cable setup instead of USB-C to USB-C if your Windows USB-C port doesn’t support DP Alt Mode.
- Software Conflicts
• Try disabling Windows Ink in Huion’s driver settings.
• Disable third-party tablet drivers (like Wacom, XP-Pen) that might interfere.
• Restart Windows Explorer:
• Open Task Manager → Find Windows Explorer → Right-click → Restart.
- Test with Another Cable or Adapter
• Some full-featured USB-C cables don’t support video properly on Windows, even if they work on Mac. Try another high-quality USB-C cable that explicitly supports DP Alt Mode.
• If your Windows laptop has USB-A only, make sure you use the Huion 3-in-1 cable (HDMI + USB-A + power).
Let me know what you find, and I can help further!
The ASUS WRX80 series motherboards (such as the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI) do not support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C.
Key Points:
• The USB-C ports on the WRX80 only support data transfer and USB power delivery but do not support video output (DP Alt Mode).
• To connect a Huion Kamvas 13 Pro Gen 3, you will need to use HDMI + USB-A for power instead of USB-C to USB-C.
• If you still want USB-C video output, you would need a dedicated GPU with a USB-C port that supports DP Alt Mode, such as some NVIDIA RTX and AMD Radeon workstation GPUs.
Let me know if you need alternative connection options!
