USB hub failing under Monterey

After updating to Monterey 12.1 usb-hub is still not working. But at least my Mac stopped crashing when it goes to sleep mode with usb-hub plugged in.

not a single usb hub works, it feels like I bought myself not a macbook but a macbug m1. In general, what a joke to do such a jamb in the end rolled back to big sur!

I've had a laggy wireless usb mouse on my Mac mini since Monterey :(

My USB ports work but show connection speed as 480 Mb/s which is USB 2.0 standard, not 3.0.

Same with me . just upgraded to Monterey and my ST-Lab docking station stopped working can't see image on 2 additional screens that worked fine before upgrading. I am using the latest version 12.1

that's what brought me here.

Apple we need a quick fix

I'm now on 12.1 and still don't have anything working (re usb 3.0/3.1, and monitors).

I have hubs and shorter cables ordered from Amazon- will report back, hopefully with better results.

But at the moment, no love here for 12.1 (yet)

Hub problem still exists with 12.1 on M1 MBP and Hyper Drive. Connected devices either not seen, disappear or even set to read only; machine reboots during sleep mode. All worked fine prior to Monterey.

Also, notice that Disk Utility can take minutes to list devices, so something is, obviously, amiss!

I have also issues with the StarTech DKT30CSDHPD USB-C Hub. Devices connected to it get disconnected time to time, can be temporarily fixed by plugging it back in. Is it possible that the USB-C is not providing enough electricity and I need a hub with external power connection?

12.1 introduced the issue(s) for me. USB-C connected hubs, video via USB-C (i.e, my external monitor), are unrecognised now — they were working without any issue before the update, under 12.0.1. The monitor is a Dell U3219Q.

HDMI video now randomly flickers off and on often enough to be unusable. DisplayPort via a 3rd party adapter works, but a third party USB hub doesn't.

"Aukey Unity C71" usb-c hub on fresh install Monterey 12.1 on Macbook Pro m1 still does not work. I can use the HDMI port only. USB2 port does not work, ethernet port does not work either. USB3 ports work only under certain circumstances: a) I boot in safe mode, b) I only attach USB3 single compatible peripherals (not hubs). The machine is hardly usable.

I have this issue when connecting my 2021 iPad Pro to my brand new M1 Max Mac Book Pro running Monterey 12.1 using the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports. The iPad runs iPad OS 15.2. It rarely shows up in finder or system report thunderbolt or USB ports. Sometimes it does show up. Sometimes that's stable, sometimes not. Same behavior with my wife's 2021 iPad Pro, and with different Thunderbolt cables. As a control, connecting my iPhone 13 Pro via lightning-to thunderbolt cable works fine. Thunderbolt external drive also works fine except daisychaining does not work. External Thunderbolt hub connects fine. So in this case, there is a specific bug connecting the iPads to my M1 Max Mac Book Pro. Connecting via thunderbolt to an older Intel MacBook Pro running Big Sur worked, as did connecting via thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adaptor to an even older Mac Book Pro.

For anyone who facing the issue external display not working as usual via usb-c after upgrade to Monterey, for my case...

• M1 max 16" macOS version 12.1
• Dell Display U3219Q

I've found WORKaround on Reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/macsysadmin/comments/qgypzy/comment/hpjdnn9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Unfortunately this issue with USB hubs made me return my MacBook Air today. As others here said, this is not a small bug which one can work around, instead this is a fundamental problem which prevents many people from using MacBooks. I bought it for work and I can't connect mouse, keyboard and display to it.

My setup:

• MacBook Air M1, 16 GB
• Anker 5-in-1 usb hub (no power delivery)
• Monterey 12.1

Problem: Usb hub does not connect - power LED on the hub does not even come on.

I spoke to a Apple support today and I've been told to "wait for next release" - which is definitely not a solution for me given that I need this computer to work. I didn't have other choice except of returning mac - I can't easily revert back to 11.2, I can't keep buying more and more usb c hubs praying that one of them will eventually work.

Very disappointing. Bugs happen, but the fact there's no way to roll back make this situation much worse.

The take away here is that Apple is clearly not a serious company. This was well and good when hardly anyone used them for anything important, and they could claim "We do better because we focus on one set of hardware", but then Apple got big and never grew in two important ways:

1. Working with hardware that they didn't personally-overcharge you for
2. Critical features that Microsoft has had for decades, like rolling back broken updates.

But hey, the touchbar can run Doom, so it's worth it!
