Hi, i have a new MBP 14 M2, plugged to a Belkin f4u095, and 2 external monitors.
#monitor 1 > directly connected to the dock via DP port
#monitor 2 > connected to the docking' type c port through a HDMI > type C adapter

It happens that when i wake up my MBP, the monitor #1 immediatly wake up, the monitor #2 is way slower and many times it doesn't wake up.

To make it work again i have to unplug and plug again the MBP to the bellkin docking.

I tried different setup but i noticed that IF the monitor is connected directly to the docking it works like a charm, when i use an adapter (no matter if it is HDMI > type C or DP > type C) here's the mess!

Any suggestion will be very appreciated
 
What happens when you use monitor 1 connected to display port on the dock and monitor 2 connected to the MBP’s built in hdmi? I know it involves connecting an extra cable, but if things behave properly, it is something I would be willing to deal with.

From my experience the M series macs can be very fussy using hdmi connected through a dongle.

really nice point! I'll go to test it. Never think about that possible solution!

It's seems it's working fine :)
Weird thing that the HDMI/DP dongles are not fully compliant with the M series.

Thank you for the tip!
