MacBook Air M2 and Sonoma problem with flickering displays

Hi
I've been happily using a DisplayLink adapter (Startech USB3SDOCKHD) on my old MacBook Pro 2020 along with 2 external monitors. This worked fine on Ventura, plus I was in an old build of the DisplayLink (1.3).

I've just upgraded to a MacBook Air M2 2022 and also to Sonoma. With that I also upgraded to the latest DisplayLink 1.10. Things were fine for a few hours, but now randomly and with no seeming trigger (sometimes when using Webex or teams) the displays cut out for a second, and occasionally Displaylink crashes. I've tried downgrading to earlier version of DisplayLink, as there seemed to be threads suggesting that was the issue.
I've also tried different cables to no avail.

I've also upgraded my MacBook Pro to Sonoma too, but so far it refuses to have the same issues.

Any advice welcomed!
