OWC Thunderbolt mini Dock with M4 Max studio doesn't connect upon startup unless I unplug and plug the dock back in. I haven't had this issue with other docks but this one was over $150 so I'd really love it to work! Unfortunately the person in my company who purchased it last year is no longer around so I can't return it. Has anyone else had any issues with this dock? Or any recommendation to get it to work?
Mac Studio, macOS 15.7
For anyone else that stumbles upon this issue, it's fixed...kind of.
I contacted OWC regarding this and they suggested that my other peripherals (A stream deck and a midi/USB controller) were drawing too much power upon startup. I have never had this issue on other Macs, but indeed I moved one of my peripherals to the front USB C port and the dock was then recognized upon startup. Not ideal as I'd like to use my front ports for other things and it seems odd that such a powerful computer would have an issue like this but there it is.
