I love this monitor with my Mac Studio - Question: I am using the DVI cable…to connect Mac to Dell. Both are plugged into power…Will this allow all of the Hub Ports to work? Or do I need to use usb-c to usb-c cable for all of the Hub Ports to work?

DVI (or HDMI, or DP) can't carry USB signals. So yes, you need a USB connection between Mac and monitor, in addition to/instead of (depending on what ports the monitor has) DVI.

Thank you so much...What is the DisplayPort good for? Good for a 2nd Monitor? Or Speakers...
