DisplayLink Manager & MBA M2 not working

edelwe1ss · 03-08-2025, 03:30 PM

Hi everyone !

I have acquired two DELL monitors, both of which are connected to my ThinkPad Docking Station that support Display Link. How do I know it supports DisplayLink?

1. It's written on it
2. It works with my M1 Pro

The issue I am facing is making it work with my MBA M2. For some mysterious reasons, I cannot get any of the monitors working with my MBA M2.

The M1 Pro works just fine tho, I have extended display -- everything's perfect.

On macOS, in Screen and System Audio Recording, I have Display Manager toggled. To my knowledge, this is the only option that should be toggled/enabled.

I am on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 (24D70).
I tried to uninstall and re install the software, to no avail.
I tried both USC-C ports on my MBA, no change whatsoever.
Upon clicking the DLM icon, I get the message "Please connect your Display Link Device".

Am I missing something here?
