Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it’s been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

    I have to disable that wired connection.

    Sounds like it never works… Why not just unplug the ethernet…

    It’s completely useless that it shows up as an audio device.

    Does it have HDMI? It might be a digital out over hdmi.

      It’s a shared workplace, so I can’t just leave the ethernet unplugged.

      And yes, it has DisplayPort and potentially HDMI, too. I do have an idea why it might work that way, but from a user perspective, it’s still useless and annoying…

          Maybe they meant that doesn’t work for their use cases? Might still work for the next guy

            Yeah, I don’t want to go too much into detail, but there’s basically two different paths you can take. Either you get a preconfigured setup, but then have to rely on the attrocious support from our IT supplier, or you choose a DIY setup.

            I could DIY it, so the ethernet works as intended, but it’s just not worth the effort…
