Big Sur 11.4 and M1 Air

I was able to get mine working in a similar fashion, by using a usb c hub plugged into the MBP and then plugging the d6000 into the hub, however now I’ve joined the rest of the users on this forum in that my monitors only work when the MBP lid is open, which is kind of a bummer as I had hoped to have both my work laptop and play laptop closed in a stand together and then go from work to play by swapping the d6000 cable between the two. Oh well, hopefully there is a fix for that soon. I appreciate the help!

The above USB-C hub is put between MBA M1 (via Thunderbolt) and D6000 (USB-C data port). With the latest Mac OS and DL driver, this configuration works for both open and closed lid cases. For D6000, I also updated the firmware.

USB-C hub drives one display, ethernet, and etc, and D6000 drives two displays. Somehow, this configuration has been robust since I purchased MBA M1 back in January regardless of Mac OS and DL driver updates.

I hope this helps others struggling clamshell mode and other issues with D6000.
