No video signal on external displays in clamshell mode through thunderbolt dock
Hello. I would appreciate any help regarding an issue with my current setup:
Macbook Pro M1 14" (2021)
Thunderbolt docking station - Kensington SD5600T, with 90W power delivery
Two 1440p monitors, connected to docking station over DisplayPort
In normal mode, when laptop lid open - this setup works fine, i.e. the video signal is sent to external monitors, and to built-in display. Laptop is charging from the thunderbolt docking station and transmits video data over single cable.
The problem starts when I try to use laptop in a Clamshell mode. When I close the lid, while still being connected to docking station (and monitors) - the video signal gets lost and monitors turn black. The laptop doesn't fall into sleep mode though - I can hear the sound from it's speakers, and here the background programs being run. Just the external monitors turn off along with built-in display.
For comparison - I've tried the same trick (clamshell mode) with an 2019 Intel Macbook Pro 15" - and it works fine in clamshell mode, so problem is not in my monitors or docking station, but in the very M1 Macbook.
Did anyone faced with similar problem?
Thanks
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2
