DVI not working on extended monitor with Surface Book docking station

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

• 
  Make sure the power light for the docking station is on
  
• 
  Make sure the monitor is getting power
  
• 
  Make sure the cable is connected properly to the monitor
  
• 
  Unplug and reconnect the Mini-DVI adapter on the back of your docking station
  
• 
  Try flipping the connector for the adapter over (turns out some adapters can go in upside-down)
  
• 
  Take the Surface out of the docking station then put it back in
  
  
  

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

 

Audio not working through a docking station

This is happening for me as well on my Surface Pro 3. Audio plays through the Dell D3100 USB docking station when docked on the SP3 docking station. I take the surface off the docking station and the audio switches to Surface built in speakers. When I
re-dock the surface, the sound continues to play through the Surface despite the Audio playback devise settings suggest the sound should be coming through the Dell D3100. The issue persists after attempting to re-assign the default device. The only way
that I have found to correct this is to reboot the surface while docked but it all goes to **** once the Surface is removed from the dock.

- This system was upgraded from Windows 8.1 (Issues did not exist in Windows 8.1)

- 8.1 DisplayLink drivers removed and updated to version 7.9.296.0

 

Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 with Docking Station V2

I had a Lenovo ThinkPad Laptop with TB4 docking station, all that was needed was one power supply from the docking station and the TB4 cable to the laptop and everything was charging ok

Now with the Surface Laptop 5, I need 2 power supplies, 1 for the docking station and another to charge the laptop.

So I need an additional power supply to keep in my laptop bag when I am on the move..

What a joke!!
