Hello,
I've seen other threads on the subject (like this) and followed the suggested article to no avail, so I can't help but post a question.
I have a Win10 desktop PC connected with Ethernet and WiFi to the same network as the smart TV. The PC has an additional WiFi PCI-Express card installed, as well as a dedicated graphics card (AMD RX-480) and two monitors. As far as I can tell, it doesn't have a bluetooth peripheral but it shouldn't be an issue since as far as I know the connection should happen over WiFi.
I can see the TV under the available devices to connect to in the notification manager. I try to connect to the TV, but after a varying amount of wait time, I see for a split second a black screen with cursor on the TV and then I am notified that the connection failed.
Troubleshooting steps
I tried connecting to the same TV with two laptops and succeeded without any issue, so the TV definitely supports Miracast.
I tried plugging out the ethernet cable and running the desktop PC on WiFi (same network as the TV).
I tried creating a new Samsung account on the PC (to "authorize" the connection?).
I tried to restart after installing Connect.
I tried to disable the Windows Firewall.
I tried to connect via "Wireless screen" from Settings instead of via the Notification Center -> Connect or Project buttons.
I tried to "reconnect" after a connection fails.
All to no avail.
Problem experienced
The connection process starts, I can see that the TV is trying to receive signal, but after the black screen the TV reverts to the previous content.
On my PC I can see a blue flicker and a "connected" notification, but immediately after I see another flicker, a short black screen and then the screen content is restored and the top bar in my PC says "disconnected". If I try to "reconnect" from the top bar it fails and says that there was an error. A "There's a problem - unable to connect the device" notification is also added to the notification manager with the input prompt to allow remote input from the TV.
I installed Connect (version 10.0.19041.1) and it says that my device is ready for wireless connection, but may have problem when displaying content because the hardware wasn't specifically designed for wireless display. For reference, my laptop's Connect screen doesn't complain.
In the first bout of tries, in the device manager I could see the smart TV under Miracast devices and its drivers were up to date.
What is going wrong here? Am I missing some HW to make this work? Are there logs I can check to retrieve more intel on the issue?
I can attach a DxDiag report for the desktop PC if needed.
