Definitely a displaylink bug. Runtime power management should suspend things when they aren't in use, which includes the entire tree of USB devices, so the kernel is working exactly as intended. The way the displaylink part uses a userspace driver works is a bit odd and issues like this are more likely to occur. Forcing the audio driver to never suspend is just a workaround (and a waste of power).

I am running Linux Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu 16.04). I was also having the same problem with the D6000 "crashing" periodically. I can confirm that the modification to the pulse default settings fixed this issue for me. Thanks for finding that and sharing it.

I'm using a Dell XPS 13 9370 with a D6000 dock on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and was suffering from the dock resetting every few hours. turning off the wifi seams to have stopped this happening.

this is the thread that lead me to try that
