If the problem persists, disconnect all connections of the dock, and uninstall the dock device driver. Then, reinstall the device driver 

and the dock. See Chapter 3 

“Using the dock” on page 8. 

2. 

I cannot play back videos on the external monitor but can play them back on the computer monitor. 

Some computers do not support the Certified Output Protection Protocol (COPP), and you cannot play back the protected videos 

on the external monitor connected to the dock. 

To play back videos on the external monitor, you can connect the external monitor to the HDMI or DisplayPort connector on your 

computer, and extend the display to the external monitor. For more information about 

configuring the display settings, see “Setting 

the resolution of 

the external monitor” on page 9. 

3. 

The images on the external monitor flutter. 

Check the display resolution of the computer and ensure that the resolution is supported by the dock. 

4. 

The computer can play back Web flashes. However, when you drag the window to the external monitor and maximize 

the playback window, the playback stops. 

To solve the problem, update your Adobe Flash Player program to the latest version. 

4.3 Audio 

I cannot hear anything through my computer speakers or I cannot use the audio connectors on the computer. 

By default, Lenovo computers use the headset and microphone combo connector on the dock and disable built-in audio connectors 

when the dock is connected. 

To enable the built-in audio connectors on your computer, do the following: 

1. Right-click the 

Volume 

icon in the Windows notification area. 

2. Select 

Sounds

, and the Sound window is displayed. 

3. Click the 

Playback 

tab to select a built-in audio device, and then click the 

Recording 

tab to select another built-in audio device. 

See “Using the video output connectors” on page 8 for more information. 

Note: 

To apply the new settings, restart the applications that are using the audio devices. The settings you have adjusted will be 

saved until you change the settings next time.
