MacBook Pro M1 2020 update to Monterey, USB-C PD not working anymore

Yes I have the same problem with MBA M1 OS Monterey. The USB hub didn't work, only the power hub worked. There are several users also have the same issue, here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/683409

I am not sure if we will have any update from apple. Some users said that it worked after switching to other USB hub brand. I think it happened to several types of hub.

Recently I found out, that with a very short USB-C cable (30cm) the PD and video-connection is woken up! oh man .. what's the issue behind .. that's so strange now. I can not use the 30 cm cable all the time :-(

The original cable approx 1,80 cm is not broken, because on another PC (Windows) everything is working fine.

I guess there is a configuration issue with the tolerance of signals, detecting connections. With a long cable, respectively higher resistor value by the cable, MBP M1 running on Monterey is downgrading the connection protocol from e.g. USB4.0 or USB3.1 to something less.

Please, dear Apple developer or Apple tester, with this hints, try to reproduce the issue .. obviously, several other users are facing similar issues with the USB connection.

Dear community, is there anybody else who can confirm my theory or reproduce the issue by themself or solve his issue by my reported work around (shorter USB-C cable)?

Thanks again already in advance.

Lets use the "Like"-Button to see faster if the short cable work around is working on your side as well.

Does anybody know, which cables are supported?

I mean, which standard should be at least supported by the cable (e.g. USB4.0 or is USB3.1 already enough)? Within M1, Monterey or the MacBook Pro's at all, what is the recommended length of the cable to support Power Delivery (PD) and Video-Transmission?

Technical Details on Apple-Page (https://support.apple.com/kb/SP824) shows only the connection possibility, but not the compatibility:

Charging and Expansion 

• Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for:
• Charging
• DisplayPort
• Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s)
• USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s)
• USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)
• Headphone

In my case, the original cable from the monitor supplier (HP) is approx. 1,80cm and it's sticker says USB3.1 ..

• on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 with Big Sur on it, everything running fine
• on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 with Monterey on it, only mouse and keyboard functioning

Using the 30cm cable (delivered within Apple's Blackmagic eGPU .. Sticked with TB3 - Thunderbolt 3, unfortunately no further details of supported protocols) ..

• on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 with Monterey on it, everything running fine

Now I have ordered an Thunderbolt 3, USB4.0, length: 1,20cm cable and will try out, when arrived.

Same issue here: USB-C hub doesn't work anymore... Apple: please, solve this problem.

Si, mismo problema. Esperando pronta reparación por parte de apple.

I think I've found a solution for now with my MBP M1 2020. After the Monterey upgrade, my 7 in 1 USB-C Hub by WKD stopped all USB connectivity (mouse, keyboard and external storage etc)

However I had a small USB-C to HDMI Adapter 4K, Multiport Type C adapter with USB 3.0 and charging port I was using on my iPad Pro. I plugged this into one of the USB-C ports on my MBP, used a USB C to USB male adapter for (Acessorz _ on Amazon UK) to connect my 7 in 1 USB-C Hub into and all the USB ports are back working again.

PS. The charging port is also working too.

I'll try and give the descriptions below of what I'm using.

I Hope this helps someone out, I've been at this for hours and been totally stuck.

Like everyone else. M1 MacBook Air with a HP HP S340c. No PD or video. Mouse and keyboard works. All wokad just fine on Big Sur.

Hej Richard .. have you tried another / shorter USB-C cable? On my side, with the original HP USB-C Cable, no PD working but using another / shorter USB-C Cable (USB 4.0, Thunderbolt3, 1.20cm length) PD and Video is working.

+1, everything works fine until upgrade to mac os monterey... I use UGreen hub with PD even if I rollback my OS version into big sur, the issue is still not fixed But again, everything works fine before ungrade....

I can confirm that I just started experiencing this issue today, after a few weeks of it working fine. I didn't do any updates or anything, only restarted the computer.

• Computer: M1 Max MBP 16"
• Hub: OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock
• Connected Devices:
  • 2 External Displays (are connected and work fine)
  • 3x USB 3.0 External Hard Drives (do not connect through the hub, but do when connected directly via dongle)
  • Hub is powering MBP through the single Thunderbolt 3 connection, per the usual

I'm facing the same issues, did you already solved the USC PD problem?

same thing on 12.4. i've experienced this consistently through every version of monterey. awful. at a loss for what to do.

Same issue. I am on Big Sur and was just about to upgrade to Monterey but seeing that 'still... she persists' I'm not going to bother. OWC Hub that has suddenly stopped.
