Hi,
After the SONOMA update, the apple USB keyboard is no longer working via the Caldigit mini hub on my Macbook air. If I use an adapter and connect it directly to the MacBook air, the keyboard does work.
Unfortunately, the Air only has 2 USB-C ports of which I use one for power and the other for the Caldigit minihub to connect 2 monitors.
Any suggestions on how to get the keyboard working again via the mini hub?
Hmmm... doesn't work with the call digit attached to Macbook pro of windows PC
When I attach directly to the WindowsPC, it does work. Seems like the Hub is broken.
A call digit mini hub is 180 euro's here and stopped working after 4 years, he is me thinking that quality (expensive) lasts.....
I am having a simliar issue after upgrade to Sonoma and this worked just fine before the upgrade. I tried connecting 2 different keyboards to my StarTech hub, but no luck. I also tried using a different ThinkPad hub, but still the same issue. Both keyboards that I tried are Apple keyboards, not some 3rd party stuff.
A bizarre thing is the keyboard input actually works on the Login screen for entering a password, but then it goes stops working after that.
This is beyond annoying because this is my everyday work computer.
The workaround that seems to work is that I am plugging keyboard directly into an available USB-C port on the computer (via adapter from USB-A), but I should not have to do this and have wires running all over my desk.
Apple, what do you keep failing with these upgrades?
I have the same problem with an old apple usb 1 keyboard and a new macbook pro with M3. But a strange thing happened, for a few minutes it worked, then I had to change ports and it didn't work anymore.
It could be that you need a newer hub, or the hub is broken. Can you test the hub with another computer to rule out a broken hub?
Macs just sometimes do not play well with all hubs and docks regardless of their cost.
I bought the hub in the apple store......
