USB hub failing under Monterey

Anyone seeing trouble with external USB hubs after installing the Monterey developer beta?

I have an ikling FX-1940E hub that I've been using with my M1 MacBook Air. Everything worked fine under Big Sur, and still does on another machine still running Big Sur, but I can't connect a trackball or keyboard via the hub's USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports to the Air since installing Monterey. The hub's VGA port still works on Monterey; I haven't been able to test the other ports yet. Also, a different hub (with fewer ports, so it can't simply replace the ikling) does work.

I've reported the issue to Apple using the feedback assistant. Any suggestions for anything else I can do at my end?

I have the same issue. HDMI, VGA and Power Delivery works but USB 3.0 ports doesn't. Only option is wait for an update or downgrade to Big Sur I think.

I noticed the same issue immediately after updating to Monterey. I'm using a similar dock with my M1 MacBook Air.

The issue seems to be with the USB ports. My iPhone will no longer get detected by Mac OS or charge when connected to any of the USB Ports. I also noticed that my Android phone is charging way slower now. Maybe the USB ports are not getting enough voltage somehow after this update. Not sure what the issue is. I reported it using the Feedback option and also updated to the new Monterey Beta hoping for a fix, but no dice.

The HDMI, Ethernet, SD Card reader, etc. are all still working. For now, we can either downgrade to Big Sur, or wait for a Monterey update with the fix.

I have the same problem too with an iKling 9 in 1 USB Hub (not sure what the model name is). It seems that power is transferred to whatever you connect to the USB ports, but not data.

I've also noticed that if I charge my M1 MBP through it, it messes up the charge percentage display, and it shows incorrect values.

didn't have this problem with macOS Monterey beta 1.

Other USB Hubs seem to work ok.

I had a similar problem with Monterey beta 3. When I update from beta 2 to 3, it began to fail booting up. Then, I tried to make clean install in other SSD. Beta 3 could run successfully. I checked kernel extensions. I found one (installed from SATSMARTDriver-0.10.pkg) of USB device drivers killed Monterey beta 3. I couldn't update from Monterey beta 2, and/or Big Sur to Monterey beta 3 because of this USB device driver (kernel extension). I hope next beta version will fix this kernel extension problem, and I can update my current macOS version without clean installing.

Not glad this is happening, but i am calmer that this is not an issue with my hardware and hopefully will be fixed with official version. I have hte same issue - only USB3 ports do not work on M1 Macbook air. When i downgraded to big-sur it works OK. I sent via feedback app this issue.

I'm having these kinds of issues too on Beta 6. Only on M1 devices, Intel based are working fine. USB-C monitor with built in dock, sometimes works, sometimes works but no power delivery.

If device rebooted with USB-C monitor connected, then it works - but unplug the cable and replace, and back to no power/accessories.

Looking forward to Beta 7.... :)

Hi,

After upgrade to Monterey, latest public beta (21A5506j), PD over usb-c from my monitor (Philips 346P1CRH/00) doesn't work as well.

Apple please help!

Looks like most comments here are with MacBook and the M1. I have a been running a duel monitor set up with my MacBook Pro (intel) for years without issue on the MacOS Beta program. It wasn't until I just upgraded to release 8 that the monitors are no longer detected. I have not been able to find a workaround so any help would be appreciated.

Release version of Monterey still has this issue! - come on Apple!!

Just upgraded and no USBs are working, anyone have any temp work around?

PD (Power Delivery) over USB-C also stopped working on my MBP 2018 after updating to Monterey (12.0.1). I use a Philips 346P1CRH. Everything was working flawlessly with Big Sur.

Upgraded to Monterey and now power delivery from my monitor (Philips 346E2CUAE) is no longer working. HDMI is working fine.

Same thing on my end! Thought I could reset the SMC but turns out you cannot really on m1. Kind of ridiculous that apple rolled out update without even fixing this issue in the betas...

Solution: It is based off the adapter. I had a doohalo adapter and I switched adapters to another brand (non apple) and it worked. My adapter doohalo was worked pre update on big sur. Sucks how apple is trying to find ways to get rid of certain brands that people are purchasing….
