Dell Latitude E5530 vPro - Need help for HDMI video to external monitor

When I connect HDMI to external monitor then laptop monitor is blinking, external monitor is not recognised in system settings, and there is no signal on external monitor. I'll connect it again and run IOReg.

Did you switch the signal on the monitor to HDMI rather than DVI?

 

This is strange. I connected HDMI to HDMI-DVI adapter and immediately got signal on the external monitor. But it's not mirroring properly. No dock on the external monitor, and no open apps showing. Also no mouse cursor.

The IOReg does not show anything connected to external monitor, did you export the IOReg without the monitor plugged in?

Well at least it's working now. Does HDMI audio work with the DVI adapter?

1. Stupid me, input was set to DVI, now it works with pure HDMI without DVI adapter.

 

2. My monitor doesn't have speakers, and I didn't try to connect the laptop to TV yet. 

 

One question: Do I need to make some changes to EFI if I want to upgrade to Sierra?
