Thanks for any help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately, Miracast is only supported on selected AMD APU's.
Unfortunately, Miracast is only supported on selected AMD APU's.
The question is which selected AMD GPU's or APU's ? Is there a list of the ones that support Miracast ?.
I have a Radeon R9 270 on a Dell XPS 8700 running Windows 10 x64 1809.
It works fine with Miracast to a Smart TV Samsung 6 series (40) an to a Roku streamer, but only with specific AMD drivers.
The latest AMD drivers downloaded from AMD are broken and fail to connect with Miracast.
The last 2 levels that still work with my Radeon R9 270 are:
1) Driver 22.19.172.269 dated 6/27/2017 , this is also supplied by Microsoft Windows update with Crimson software 17.7.
2) Driver 22.19.171.1024 dated 7/4/2017 for R9 series 200 downloaded from AMD with Crimson software 17.7.1.
The latest AMD driver for Radeon R9 270 below fails to connect to Miracast after a brief attempt to connect..
3) Driver 25.20.14011.5005 dated 11/16/2018 with Radeon software Adrenaline 18.11.2
If you want to try different AMD drivers you should use the amdcleanuputility.exe to uninstall the existing drivers that don't work and give a try to older drivers which may still work fine.
After cleaning up the current drivers, windows 10 update may download the AMD drivers that work with Miracast, or you may find the driver cabs in Microsoft download center.
