From what I understand the official dock is the only one that doesn't have issues. Don't ask me why, but I have seen this issue multiple times online. The only solution seems to be the official dock.
I've heard the opposite, people having lots of issues with official dock while 3rd party docks will work fine.
I've got a $20 3rd party dock, and it's been doing fantastic for me.
The funny part is that the official dock was what gave me a ton of issues. Steam Deck’s screen would go blank like it was outputting to a screen, but the TV would refuse to accept the video signal. So it just looked dead until I unplugged it. The JSAUX dock has been hassle free.
I only have a JSAUX dock and its been flawless. I even had a game running, put it on the dock and it switched over to the TV without issue - I was really impressed
No problems with my Anker hub.
