Framework 13 AMD 7040 - Dock not working

OS: Win 11 24H2
Framework 13 AMD 7040

I have a Wavlink WL-UMD05 laptop dock and a few things are funny with it. No USBs work with it. HDMI/DisplayPort, SD card reader, and ethernet all work.

I also enable turn on PD detected, Laptop turns on but stays blank till I unplug the doc then I see the Frameworks splash screen and it boots. I have tried all 4 ports on the Framework and connected a LenovoThink book to the dock and cable. Works great.

Other steps:
Updated Framework BIOS to 3.5
Updated all drivers via drive update from framework.
Updated drivers from Wavlink.

I have the same doc working with an Intel gen 11 framework with the same settings and it works fine. It seems to be a AMD issue.

Any ideas would be great.

I’m having the same issue with both my 7640U and 7840U framework 13s. I have an HP USB-C dock and a Lenovo USB-C dock that both worked fine but only recently have become very buggy to use. Even with just a single monitor connected to the dock.

@PhilipWH2O, I think I found a fix. I installed AMD’s 24.8.1 Radeon driver and everything seems to work well. The latest driver doesn’t work at all, and the one Framework provides seems to be too outdated for Windows 11 24H2. Give it a shot, it worked on both my 7040 series machines and both docks.

Hmmmm…I tried that driver and still not working.

I have 2x 7040 and no fix. What chip driver are you running?
