DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Displaylink no longer detecting monitor after Monterey 12.2 update

I'm running DisplayLink on an Mac M1 Pro 13" wiht MacOS 12.1
Connected to an "ICY BOX Notebook DockingStation" (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00M9A46ZY) with DVI & HDMI (both with cables "to VGA", so HDMI->VGA and DVI->VGA)
Worked well till I changed the 1.5m DVI->VGA cable with an 30cm cable to have less "worms" on my desk.
Unfortunately, not even that the short cable doesn't give any signal, after connecting back to the old cable, all was messed up!
The HDMI-port has no output at all, the DVI ->VGA give only non-native resolutions of that screen (ie 1600x1000, but the monitor has FulHD 1920x1080) leading to a sctretched, blurry image.
Even re-installing the driver (1.6) from scratch does not help.

Any hints?

Edit: I replaced the ICY Box with a new one - works again. Seems the short cable has a somewhat "weird defect" which screws up the ICY Box.
