MacOS 11.5.2 not compatible with latest drivers

[Gouldan123]

I recently purchased the Dell display link docking station usb 3.0 D3100 to hook up 2 external monitors to my Mackbook Pro (with M1chip), Everything worked well until the latest macbook pro update to the new operating system 11.5.2. I do not see any new drivers from display link that will remedy this issue. Any suggestions I would appreciate.

Hello Gouldan123,

Thank you for posting on our forum.

May you please follow this guide (https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/755301-how-to-report-macos-issues-to-displaylink) and gather log files from your computer? I would like to analyze the issue as we did not have reports that our driver does not work on new MacOS version.

You can either post your log files here or send it with description to our email address( technical-enquiries@synaptics.com) for a more personal contact.

Kind regards,
Jakub

I have this exact same issue. Everything was working fine with my Dell D6000 dock connected via HDMI to my Sceptre C35 ultrawide monitor prior to the MacOS update to 11.5.2 and now I cannot get the correct 3440x1440 resolution, I am stuck at 2560x1440.

Can someone with DisplayLink help with this issue?!

I am currently running an HDMI cable, but have ordered a DP cable and will report back to this thread if it corrects the issue.

For what it's worth, I switched from an 8K HDMI cable to a 1.4 DisplayPort cable from my Dell D6000 to my Sceptre 35" Ultrawide and immediately the problem was resolved.

I have full resolution now with the DisplayPort cable.

Glad you got it working :), but I don't believe your issue is the same as reported in this thread - as you're only using one monitor and it sounds like you're monitor is connected via the hardware connection (HDMI) and not taking advantage of DisplayLink's software display. My guess is if you removed the DisplayLink software manager you'd have the same effect.

Mine wasn't working in 11.5.2 after the first update, but when I unplugged and used the Mac, then replugged it again (I don't think I needed to reboot) it started working again.

I think I have the same issue with my Targus ACP70EU Displaylink dockingstation. My connected mouse and keyboard still work but the displays are not. They stopped working a couple of weeks ago when I upgraded to 11.5.2.

Edit:
I tried installing the 1.5.0 beta but that didn't help either. "No monitors detected"

Hello,

I am having the same issue with my MacBook and Dell D6000. It was working great until I was updated to 11.5.2 this weekend. Now I can't get even a single monitor to recognize using DisplayLink.

Any updates on this? Anything I can do to help diagnose?


Thanks!

Please if anyone has a solution. It is so frustrating. With every update, my monitors stop working and I lose a day of productivity. This one is a complete no-go.

I can't get my monitors to show anything. Have you found solutions?

I got my employer to pay for a $900 superwidescreen so I don't need the Displaylink driver anymore.

I noticed that a new release od the displaylink driver was released the same day you posted this. I had to try it even though I already got a new screen and it seems to be working for me again.

DisplayLink Manager 1.5.0 (Build 58.125)

Edit: I also updated to Big Sur 11.6 a few days ago and didn't try Displaylink after that so can't be 100% sure if it is the new Displaylink firmware or MacOS version that solved it.

So after running this for a few days I can say that it isn't flawless. Displaylink doesn't find my displays if the computer is on or in sleep when I connect it to the docking station. I have to reboot it every time I reconnect the computer which is annoying but at least it works.
