_"MonitorControl doesn't work with my monitor"_,
so here are some troubleshooting steps and general information to try and help you.
# General Information
## General Information
- MonitorControl **doesn't work with every monitor**, it all depends on how well your display/cable manufacturer implements the [DDC/CI spec](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Data_Channel).
- Some displays will only support certain features well (for example, they work well with brightness but not volume).
- It also depends a lot on your [hardware combination](https://github.com/the0neyouseek/MonitorControl/issues/82).
# Troubleshooting
## Troubleshooting
## I can't control volume/brightness
### I can't control volume/brightness
### Known incompatibilities
#### Known incompatibilities
Mac Minis made after 2018 (including the M1 Mini) have trouble supporting DDC via the built-in HDMI port. Use the USB-C/Thunderbolt port instead!
### Check if your monitor OSD has a setting for DDC
#### Check if your monitor OSD has a setting for DDC
Some monitors have a ddc settings that can be enabled/disabled, make sure you check if your specific monitor has this setting and if it does, you should ensure DDC is enabled.
### Try a different ddc tool
#### Try a different ddc tool
You can try a different ddc tool called [ddcctl](https://github.com/kfix/ddcctl) for Intel Macs.

If these commands change your brightness or volume, you know that your display supports ddc (or at least the command that worked).
### Try a different cable
#### Try a different cable
Generally, people seem to have the highest success rates with DisplayPort and the lowest with HDMI.
## Mute does not actually mute the speakers
### Mute does not actually mute the speakers
By default, we mute by lowering the volume all the way to 0, we do this because it's the approach that works with most displays.

This approach uses the actuall DDC Mute command, which might work/behave better.
## I can't get accurate read values from the monitor
### I can't get accurate read values from the monitor
If the monitor is unable to read values from the display, it will default to the last known values.
To try and fix this, you can try checking the `Longer Delay` option in Advanced Preferences under Displays (requires enabling advanced preferences).
See the [Advanced Preferences](https://github.com/the0neyouseek/MonitorControl/wiki/Advanced-Preferences#longer-delay) wiki page for more information.
## The app is slow on startup
### The app is slow on startup
This is usually because we poll the display to try and read its current volume/brightness on app launch.
You can lower or disable the `Polling Mode` in Advanced Preferences under Displays (requires enabling advanced preferences).
See the [Advanced Preferences](https://github.com/the0neyouseek/MonitorControl/wiki/Advanced-Preferences#polling-mode) wiki page for more information.
## I get screen flickering when launching MonitorControl
### I get screen flickering when launching MonitorControl
This can be caused due to trying to poll (read) values from your display multiple times. Try setting `Polling Mode` to none in Advanced Preferences under Displays (requires enabling advanced preferences).
