Quest 3 HDMI casting via Baseus hub only works after reset
Hi everyone, I’m using a Meta Quest 3 and trying to cast the display to an external monitor that only has HDMI input. I’m currently using a Baseus Metal Gleam Type-C 6-in-1 hub (with HDMI output).
Here’s the issue:
- On the first boot, the headset casts to the monitor without problems.
- But if I leave it idle and then power it back on, the monitor doesn’t get a signal.
- To fix it, I have to unplug the HDMI cable from the hub, wait 15–20 seconds, and plug it back in.
I know Meta recommends using a direct chain (USB-C → DisplayPort → Active DP→HDMI adapter → HDMI cable) for stable casting. But since I already have this Baseus hub, I’d like to know:
Has anyone found a way to make HDMI casting via hubs more stable, without buying extra adapters or cables? Are there settings, power tricks (like always powering the hub via PD), or other workarounds that help keep the HDMI handshake consistent?
Any tips or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
