I've a similar setup and no problems. Perhaps try updating the firmware, and reseating the connections. If there are still problems perhaps some parts need to be replaced.

I just checked and I do have the latest firmware for both the laptop and the dock. The issue still persists. What is your motherboard version? Mine is A03. I had the initial one replaced. (I also replaced TB15 that was a total failure)

dmidecode says Precision 5520, Version: A00.

I have the TB16 also.

Ah okay, thanks. From what I've seen XPS 9350 was the first thing to support Thunderbolt so maybe it's the teething problems of first gen hardware ;)

The funny thing is that "USB4" doesn't have a space in the name while "USB 3.2", which they just rebranded everything else as last week, has a space. It has to be some kind of magnificent troll.

It's almost as if a secret RS-232 spy got onto the naming committee and is doing everything possible to derail the standard and bring back the parallel port.

But RS-232 is serial. Maybe the IEEE 1294 guy joined the committee?
