Problem with USB 3.0 ASMedia Host controller and DisplayLink

At least it is now working on USB 2.0. We are aware of some issues with compatibility with DisplayLink and ASMedia USB 3.0 controllers. V6.1 M2 was specifically released to work around issues with this Host controller (ASMedia limitations, not DisplayLink problems). However the latest released version of ASMedia you have does not contain fixes that they have done, so there are still ASMedia problems with DisplayLink, that they need to fix. We believe they are working on these, but we don't know if/when these will be released.

I think it would be best to contact the laptop manufacturer and ask if there is an updated ASMedia driver to solve the compatibility with DisplayLink. We will also follow up with ASMedia.

Thanks

Wim
