Question / Help Quick Sync/Intel HD 4000 issues

[Kedyn]

This isn't an OBS issue directly, but I hope someone has run into this and can help me out.

I have been trying to get my computer to recognize my onboard video so I can use Quick Sync for streaming, and I have been having a terrible time trying to get it to work.

First, I made sure it was enabled in my BIOS. I have a P8Z77V-LK motherboard and a 3570K CPU, so I have everything I should need. But, the onboard video never shows up in Device Manager. I read somewhere that one thing I could do is remove my video card completely (physically!), plug into the onboard video, and it will start working. So, I tried it, and it worked! But, when I put my graphics card back in, Windows stopped loading until I removed my graphics card again, disabled the onboard video in Windows, and put my graphics card back in.

Last night I tried installing the LucidLogix crap, because I was told that might help. When I try enabling my VGA controller again, it blackscreens. Luckily I can load into safe mode and disable it again, or I would probably have to reinstall Windows.

Anyone run into this? Anything else I could try? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't use Quicksync, but from what I remember reading, you might need to plug the Quicksync monitor output into a monitor even if you don't plan on using it. For example, plug it into a spare port on your monitor. There's more info on these forums if you do a search. And I think there's a software trick to get around this requirement as well.

You need to go to into the BIOS > Advanced > Graphics Configuration and change "iGPU Multi-Monitor" to enabled. This will activate the iGPU in addition to the discrete GPU you're using.
