USB-C Hub No Longer Working

Up to now I've been using one of the following USB-C hubs:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09K7BR93R/

Worked absolutely brilliantly! Connecting up my 1080 TV via HDMI worked as expected, I could charge through it and connect my USB mouse and keyboard.

Since the recent update its been useless. I can charge through it but no HDMI out and the Deck doesn't recognise my Mouse and Keyboard. I thought the recent update was supposed to make more USB-C hubs compatible not fewer?!?!

Anyone any tips on how I might get this working again?

Ok... This may be a false alarm.

I did the (...) plus volume down button combination described in the SteamOS update notes to reset the USB port and that seems to have fixed things.

@nivek is probably talking about this (quoted from another thread):

I will wait until Valve creates a first party hub.

Almost all hubs uses the same realtek chips.

I tried this but it didn't do anything any help?
