Nick- I just tried the latest DisplayLink drivers. It worked fine the first time, however, I noticed the green light on my dock just kept blinking and blinking. I unplugged it (Do you need to use the eject button?) and went to plug it back in a few minutes later. The Mac locked up entirely- no response from keyboard or mouse and I was forced to do a hard shutdown.

I had this issue before with the beta drivers and I assumed it was because they were in beta still.

Are you having any issues, or do you have any advice for me?

THANKS.

Bobby – using Lion now seems to be working for me just fine.

Can you confirm if the Dynadock works in Lion? I keep getting a kernel panic when plugging it in on a freshly installed Early 2011 MBP 15 inch.

I’ve noticed that Windows 7 has some issues with the 64 Bit, I’ve just had to unplug, restart and try it again. Though most of the time I”m using a mac with it.

Did you try updating to the latest update?

I’m having problems with the Toshiba Dynadock. Using Windows 7 64bit. I’m connecting a DVI and VGA to the back of the docking station and they are mirrored when you use the software. It says there are no monitors. I’ve downloaded the latest software. Any suggestion? Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

I connected a Del laptop to the dynadock u and loved it, except recently my audio has disappeared. The dynadock seems to be set up to disable laptop audio and run it through itself. Would appreciate any insights on what to do to to stop this.

Thanks!

Are you using the latest DisplayLink software? Haven’t had any issues, but I’m not using the Dynadock U for the sound feature though, using the native hardware for that.

I just got an new 15″ MBP, and tried to use the dynadock U. Everything seems to be well working except sound. When I plgug my speaker into dynadock, I cannot hear anything on my Mac with maximum volume. But on windows7 (bootcamp), sound is also fine well.
I don’t the reason why only sound is not working in OSX 10.6.6 although “USB sound device” is detected.

Nick,
What did you install with the Dynadock? I only installed the drivers from DisplayLink. Was there anything else I needed to install? Did your 13″ MBP auto detect the USB sound device?
My speakers sound perfectly awesome when connected to my Mac’s audio out, but terrible when connected to the Dynadock.
