I've been restarting the app where I experience the audio problem, and that's been working for me as a quick fix.

I just installed the DisplayLink Manager 1.5.0 and am curious to see if that makes a difference.

FYI - I don't normally shutdown or restart my MacBook. I just close the lid, and let it sleep (I suppose, like most people).

Since my last post, I've upgraded to Monterey 12.2.1. Somewhere between this version and Monterey 12.0.1, my touch bar would be unresponsive when I tried to wake my MacBook from sleep. From there, I'd have to restart my device to get things back to normal.

I've found that if I first disconnect the DisplayLink before waking up the MacBook, then connect the DisplayLink after the system is up, things work as expected - including the audio.
