CalDigit TS4 Docking Station Connectivity Issues with MacBook (macOS 14.4) - Anyone Else?

[Lumi_N0va]

Hi everyone,

I've been facing a frustrating issue with my CalDigit TS4 docking station when using it with my MacBook running macOS 14.4. Every time I restart my MacBook, the docking station fails to automatically reconnect to all my peripheral devices (like aux speakers, USB drives, SSDs), except for the external monitor which works fine. The only workaround I've found is to physically disconnect and then reconnect the docking station's cable to the MacBook, which is quite inconvenient.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? I'm curious to know if this is a common problem and if there are any known fixes or workarounds that I haven't come across yet. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you applied any and all necessary firmware updates for the dock from Caldigit’s site?

Yes, plenty of info about this and more in the TS4 thread:

A few days ago I stumbled onto an Amazon listing for a Caldigit TS4. Doesn't seem to show up now when I search for it, but here's the direct link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GK8LBWS/ It's currently showing "not available", but when I first saw it I was able to place an order for...

Did you update it? Remember to unplug everything except for the MacBook when doing the updating

I do have the same problem since upgrading to 14.4. Don't know what the problem is.

I do have this version (v.4308) already installed on TS4. Seems to be a new problem wich came with MacOS 14.4. So, Yes, me either. I do have this problem, too.
