Same here.

The question is, does anyone at all successfully run his DisplayLink adapter with Monterey 12.1?

This is the last mac I'm buying.

Its not the MAC if it is a M1 as it was sold with only a single external monitor support. Its the need for 3rd party drivers to try and support a second monitor and the fact that you need to not update until after Displaylink provide a driver for the released version.

It is the new Mac M1 Pro, I understand it has support for 2 monitors now, however when I plug both into my docking station, it doesn't work. It only work when I have 1 DisplayPort plugged into my docking station, and the other HDMI into the Mac itself.

Get a thunderbolt dock or a USB-C docking adapter. For a pro you do not need displaylink. Its just creating problems.

Any solution for this? This update downgraded my home office efficiency dramatically!

In my case it does not work for 12.1 btw. Using: Belkin USB-C Dual Display Docking Station USB 3.2 Gen 1 and MacBook Pro 14" (2021)

I am running into the same issue. I have a Dell Docking Station with Displayport to Displayport with my LG UltraGear monitor. This is VERY frustrating as it impacts my ability to work heavily. I installed the 1.6 version as I saw some people online state that got things working for them again, but for me the Manager just says that there is no DisplayLink enabled monitor attached. I am also not having any luck with USB peripherals.

UPDATE:

OMG. This is just silly…lol. I had tried rebooting, etc with the latest software from DL, but I didn't do the quintessential did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in. It now is working.

I am running a MacBook Air (2019) and using 4 monitors and have had to reinstall the drivers after upgrading to Monterey...

Also tried a friend's Air (2020) with M1 chip and got the 4 monitors running in a short time. I had to make sure I had the recent DisplayLink drivers 1.6 and the USB hub drivers for monitors 3 and 4.

I am using the Wavlink USB hubs. My MacBook Air(2019) has lag, CPU (i5 Intel) seems to be struggling but the M1 (2020) was working well and much faster, the CPU seemed to handle the load better but the GPU seemed to get more stress, however the M1 seems to run really well.

No gaming for me, I only use Browsers, MS Office, 2 stock trading platforms, Email...

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.
