Thank you for reaching out to us, I am sorry this is not working as expected and I am happy to help! I believe I just replied to your contact through email, if you see a second email through eBay please feel free to disregard that email and we can continue through this direct email. Below is the same reset procedure to see if we can enable the 3.5mm audio output port.
I recommend we start by resetting both the computer and docking station to verify the docking station is being correctly detected and to see if this helps to enable audio output from the docking station’s 3.5mm headset port:
Disconnect the docking station from the computer and remove the power connection from the back of the docking station, unplug all USB devices from the docking station
Disconnect the docking station’s power supply from the wall and let both the docking station and power supply sit for 30-90 seconds to fully discharge
Restart the computer
In macOS: Apple Menu > Restart
After 30-90 seconds, reconnect the power supply to the wall socket or power strip
Reconnect the power supply to the docking station
Verify the blue power LED is illuminated on the front of the docking station, please let me know if this does not come on when connected
Reconnect the docking station to the computer
Please be sure to use the original USB cable provided with the docking station
Connect the cable directly from the docking station to the computer, adapters, hubs, or cable extensions may reduce the docking station’s capabilities or prevent detection
Connect the headphones/speakers to the docking station’s 3.5mm output port
Open the Apple Menu > Preferences > Sound > Output [Tab at the top]
Left-click on the Plugable Audio device to ensure this is selected, at the bottom of the window uncheck the “Mute” checkbox and adjust the volume slider to about 5% ( close to the left edge )
Start a video or music and slowly bring the volume slider from left to right to increase the volume while listening to the headphones/speakers
If there is no audio, please repeat steps 7-10 but with the headphones/speakers connected directly to the computer and select the MacBook’s audio port in step #9 to ensure the headphones/speakers are working correctly
Please let me know if this helps to enable the audio output, and if not we can go from here.
