6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Trust Halyx USB-C Hub, refer to the following common solutions:

6.1 Devices Not Detected

• Test Peripherals Directly: Connect the peripheral directly to your computer's USB-C port (if available) to confirm it is functioning correctly.
• Try Different Port: If your computer has multiple USB-C ports, try connecting the hub to a different one.
