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.

@peteorrall I’ve had issues with HDMI from the HDMI port with better success using a USB/Thunderbolt adapter that includes its own HDMI port. This is on two different Macs.

I’m suspicious of the fidelity of ports on Apple Silicon Macs—the limitations on number of displays (on lower end models) and HDMI setups (that work fine on Intel Macs)—so specific and restrictive.
