I had dock issues on release like the HDMI not picking up until I've unplugged and replugged the dock power cable but after a firmware update that auto ran it was resolved
I can’t even get the Dock to acknowledge that there’s a firmware update despite Valve support saying there are at least 2 newer versions. It has done 1 update in the time that I’ve owned it and no combination of their suggested unplu/plug/restart cycle causes it to start an update.
I wonder if theres a more explicit way to force the firmware update, like a usb stick with the update file? For me I just updated my deck via settings while plugged into the dock and it prompted about a firmware update being available. I've only had this prompt once though
