DisplayLink crash sound devices in Linux Mint 21.2

I use ICY BOX USB-C Docking Station (IB-DK2242AC) together with Linux Mint 21.2 together with the latest DisplayLink driver (Release: 5.8 | Aug 9, 2023).

From time to time, the sound crashes. All sound options (devices) disappear.
When I disconnect my docking station from my PC, then the sound option (devices) comes back.
Therefore, I think DisplayLink is the cause to this bug.
Similar problems also happened on Ubuntu 22.04.
This a new problem. Most probably is related to the release 5.8.
Does anyone have similar problems and got a fix?
I will try to downgrade the driver when I get time.
