[RESPONDED] AMD Ryzen 7040, Linux Mint : USB Devices don't work when connected to a Screen via USB C (incl. PD)

Today I got my Ryzen Mainboard. After assembling the board to the Framework Laptop I connected 2 USB C connectors to the left and right upper mounts, the 1TB drive on the lower left side and the 3rd gen HDMI connector to the right lower side.

I connected the laptop to my 32:9 Philips monitor with a USB-C cable. In Mint I set up the screen, so now I am writing on it. But the keyboard, that is connected to the monitor’s USB hub, doesn’t work. Also the mouse, that is connected to it, won’t work. Maybe the usb devices aren’t forwarded to the laptop or somehow blocked? I don’t know…

I used the same setup with the Intel 12th gen board and it worked fine. I tried both USB C connectors on the Framework Laptop but with no success.

Here is the output of lsusb:

Any ideas why this won’t work anymore? Or what I can do to make it work again?

Hi @Rafael_Kania , Welcome back to the forums. :slight_smile:

can you first you Ryzen Mainboard with fedora 38 live? see if the 2 usb c connector has same issue? Maybe also make sure these connectors are still working with other machine as well?

All, please make sure you’re updating to the latest BIOS beta.
