I randomly get that issue on my Ally when it's docked. But it wasn't Bazzite specific for me. I have to disconnect the dock from power and plug it in again and all the USB devices work again. Maybe that will work for you too
Also if you are dual-booting with Windows, preferably turn off hibernation in Windows as it sometimes locks devices when it hibernates.
i only have bazzite, installed, it seems like the ports works but when the charger is in, they stop working, i tried it on my steam deck and the same happend, i guess is a dock problem then.
Hope it's soon enough to return it and get that replaced.
Yeah, thanks a lot btw
Looks like unplugging and re-plugging the power to the doc worked for me too on an Asus A17 laptop. had an issue where any time I plugged anything into the usb 2 ports on the doc it killed all usb ports even the ones on the laptop itself.
one thing you can try is the usual "caps drain" we do for usb devices that make the boot process hang
just unplug the dock from power and leave it overnight and see if that helps. by then the caps or anything else in it should be drained from residual power.
then plug it in, if it still has the issue then hardware issue with the dock.
