Looks like the USB-C hub is now working on my DAW. When I rearranged my studio I needed a longer 20 foot USB-C male-to-female cable. Plugged it into the same Thunderbolt 3 port and...nothing.
This morning, I tested the hub on my #Debian laptop with that same cable. It works fine. I tested another 20 foot cable on the laptop with the hub. It works fine. Tested that short cable on the same Thunderbolt 3 port. it works fine. Then, I tested that longer cable on a different #Thunderbolt 3 port. Whaddya know? It works fine.
This is a head scratcher. The ports and cables are fine but for whatever reason #MacOS doesn't recognize the hub *at all* with that one cable in that one port...even though that was the same port I used before I rearranged the #studio.
No changes to the OS were made. The only difference is that cable.
This is bizarre.
