Audio Problems

I'm having problems with audio with my Kensington SD4700P. It will work fine when first booted up, but after waking from sleep, the audio frequently stops working. The device does not appear in the volume controls menu in the top-right corner (where it does normally) and programs like Apple Music and Spotify sit there doing nothing, presumably waiting for a response from the audio device.

I can solve the problem somewhat by either unplugging the device and plugging it back in again or by running

Code:

sudo killall coreaudiod

in the terminal. However, the device still isn't listed in the volume controls and – more annoyingly – alert sounds won't play over the device. Instead the main screen flashes at me.

The only way around this is restarting, but the problem is far too frequent for this to be a real solution.

I'm on macOS 11.1 and using DisplayLink Manager 1.2

Thanks for any help!
