Have been pulling my hair out with this. The support team for my webcam hinted that some people are having success with different cables. I bought new cables and tested lots of combinations. The only thing that works is using USB-FI certified USB 3.1 gen1 or USB 3.0 gen1 cables.


Even the dell 3.1 gen2 cable that came with my USB-C monitor only worked at usb 2.0 speeds, but replaced with a gen1 cable and it is connecting at 5gbps.


Now my display, dock and all devices are connecting properly.
