I have a TS4 dock connected directly to my 2021 MacBook Pro 14 inch with the M1Max chip, 64 GB RAM and 4TB internal SSD. I have 1 GB internet with fiber to the house, I consistently get SpeedTest results in the 950 range both directions. Everything works well with one exception.
When I run a streaming session on our weekly YouTube live show thru Streamyards using my Logitech Brio 4K webcam, connected to either a USB-A or USB-C port on the TS4 I get frequent camera "flashes" where my outgoing video from the camera either spikes, stutters or some sort of artifact pops up momentarily. These tend to occur a couple times a minute but at random intervals.
I tried a different camera of the same model (I have 2) and the same thing happens. I tried different ports on the TS4 and the same thing happens. I tried it on the CalDigit TB3 dock and it did NOT occur, nor did it occur on my OWC Thunderbolt dock. I use each of the 3 TB4 ports on my MacBook and it did the same on each.
I then plugged the camera directly into another TB port on my MacBook and the issue never occurred again. Plug it back into any port on the TS4 and it reoccurs.
Other items connected to the TS4 dock are 2 ASUS 32IN HD monitors, one to the Display Port and the other to the adjacent TB4 port. There is also my USB studio mic, and external HDD for backups, speakers thru the audio port on the rear, Ethernet to the LAN, the computer and the power adapter.
I suspect that there is an issue between the camera and other items on the same bus but it doesn't seem to matter what port I plug the camera into.
While I can run it this way I would prefer to have it work properly plugged into the dock. Any idea what might be causing these outgoing video spikes?
Other than the above mentioned video stutters I have not had any problems. It charges my MBP just fine and is a welcome addition to my desk!
