Anyone seeing trouble with external USB hubs after installing the Monterey developer beta?

I have an ikling FX-1940E hub that I've been using with my M1 MacBook Air. Everything worked fine under Big Sur, and still does on another machine still running Big Sur, but I can't connect a trackball or keyboard via the hub's USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports to the Air since installing Monterey. The hub's VGA port still works on Monterey; I haven't been able to test the other ports yet. Also, a different hub (with fewer ports, so it can't simply replace the ikling) does work.

I've reported the issue to Apple using the feedback assistant. Any suggestions for anything else I can do at my end?

FWIW I have a similar problem with my AUKey USB C hub model CB-C71. The symptom was that my keyboard (a fairly old wired USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard) and mouse (Logitech B100), both of which are connected via an ezcoo KVM swtch, were not recognized (or even powered).

Moving the KVM switch to a different USB port on the AUKey hub solved the problem for me (the one opposite of the USB-C power port). The other two USB ports on the hub don't seem to work for any peripheral I have.

Even after upgrading to the latest RC2, Dell D6000 dock, usb ports are still not working. Screen works fine, charging also.

same issue Macbook pro (13-inch, 2020 intel) and Philips monitor (Brilliance 346P1CRH/00) charging through usb-c was working with Big Sur and it stopped as soon as I upgraded to Monterey. Please fix this in the next patch, it's supper annoying

I can confirm that on Monterey 12.1 the issue is fixed.

I can also confirm. On my old hub (GreenCell AK50) the usb ports finally work again :)

So far I haven't found any new bugs, so I can recommend upgrading Monterey to version 12.1

I installed 12.0.1 and had loads of USB devices fail and so rolled back to Catalina. While it looks like 12.1 solves the problem for many people, I think I will delay upgrading until 12.2 or 12.3 because very clearly this major version is full of bugs.

My usb-c hub A15 by DUDAO (SSD/USB3/USB-C/HDMI) is not working well since I updated to Monterey last week. It means I can't plug all my external usb controllers for my DAW (Ableton Live 11) neither my Focusrite 2i2... Bravo Apple, please fix these problems. PS : I tried to downgrade to BigSur (I've got the Macbook M1 2020) but impossible.
