Second screen not working with amd

I have an MSI Bravo 17 laptop and when I connect my HDMI, it doesn't detect anything nor does my computer react at all. The screen seems to detect that something has been connected, but it just tries to find a signal through HDMI and shows nothing. When I go into the screen settings in Arch, it only shows the integrated display.

I think it might be a BIOS issue, but I've already changed every parameter that I'm allowed to change and it hasn't made a difference. I've disabled Secure Boot, Fast Boot, Secure Computing, or something like that, and nothing works. Here is the output of the command inxi -Fxnzr:

Re: Second screen not working with amd

You're out of date... there have been a bunch of important multi-gpu bugfixes in plasma 6.2.1.1 and by extension 6.2.2 both of which have been released in the meantime. Update your system and reboot and check whether you can reproduce.

Re: Second screen not working with amd

I already updated with sudo pacman -Syu and restarted, but nothing changed, same situation.

Sorry if you meant something else. I'm kinda new to Linux—not a complete newbie, but still getting the hang of it.
