Setup: 1 MacBookAcir (M1 Chip), Icy Box, Samsung Monitor. (Monitor Icy Boy: HDMI)
Setup 2 ProBook (2014) Samsung Monitor (Monitor MacBookPro - Monitor : HDMI

Problem: Whenever I start the NotebookAir (Setup1) the screen gets no signal. Remains dark

But when I connect the monitor to my old MacBook (Setup2), the picture comes up immediately. OK, that can happen.

And now it gets really strange, when I connect the monitor to the Icy box again, the monitor also gets the picture of the new Airbook in Setup 1. Settings are the same. OS too. How can this be? Does the Airbook not send an activation impulse to the monitor?

Answer

There is a software update for the Icy Box on the website, but needs a Windows computer for it: https://icybox.de/en/product.php?id=19
Also had weird phenomena with my MacBook Pro, so switched to another docking station as the Icy Box is officially designed for Windows 10.
