DisplayLink Forum - External Speakers and Monterey

I've got the same issue. Has anyone actually raised a support ticket for this as the DisplayLink team don't actively look at these forums?!

Update: I've just changed the Sound settings on my MBP and set the Output to Dell USB Audio and that appears to work! :)

Killing coreaudiod works - better than restarting

Killing the coreaudiod process 'fixes' the issue for me too although it's obviously far from ideal.

Killing the coreaudiod also worked for me - I was having the same issue. Not great that you have to do that every time you unplug the Mac from the hub - but it beats restarting it

How do you kill the coreaudio?

Can you tell me how to do that?

On a Mac, go to your "Activity Monitor" and search for "coreaudiod" if it's not at the top. Hit the circle X in the top of the panel to quit the process.

Following these steps fixed the problem for me. While it's not ideal, it's a lot better than disconnecting or restarting every time my MacBook wakes from sleep! Thanks for "fix" everyone!

I experience the same problem.

Same issue here

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
Monterey 12.2.1 (21D62)
DisplayLink Manager 1.6.1

The workaround is not woring anymore.

After having it done once, you need to restart the computer

We really need to find a way to fix that or this hub will not be useful :(

I have a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) running Monterey version 12.0.1
and this docking station https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

I've been restarting the app where I experience the audio problem, and that's been working for me as a quick fix.

I just installed the DisplayLink Manager 1.5.0 and am curious to see if that makes a difference.

FYI - I don't normally shutdown or restart my MacBook. I just close the lid, and let it sleep (I suppose, like most people).

Since my last post, I've upgraded to Monterey 12.2.1. Somewhere between this version and Monterey 12.0.1, my touch bar would be unresponsive when I tried to wake my MacBook from sleep. From there, I'd have to restart my device to get things back to normal.

I've found that if I first disconnect the DisplayLink before waking up the MacBook, then connect the DisplayLink after the system is up, things work as expected - including the audio.
