External Speakers and Monterey

Same problem, DisplayLink 1.6.0, Monterey 12.1 and on a 2018 Macbook Pro.

Kate K from DisplayLink tech support got back to me suggesting I use Activity Monitor to quit "coreaudio". I don't have that as a process, but do have "coreaudiod". I forced that process to quit and it immediately started back up and the sound came through the DisplayLink audio jack just fine.

Interesting work-around, but not a final fix. Not sure if the fix is with MacOS or DisplayLink having to deal with the new MacOS.

I logged an issue via Apple's Feedback Assistant as well.

I am having the same problem with an M1 MBP 13".

The suggestion made by @g716 has been working as a quick fix for me as well.

I've got a D6000 dock and I've just upgraded to Monterey and my external audio output no longer works.

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

Here it stopped working even killing the process now. Nothing has changed, no updates recently. So weird...

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!

Can you tell me how to do that?

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?
