I can't use USB-A ports and Audio port. I connected only LG monitor use USB-C and AOC monitor use HDMI and one port USB-A 3.1. Other ports don't work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I missed the review stating the source connection on this dock to the master (main computer) desktop is in the front. This makes routing the connection T4 wire very unprofessional. Now for the laptoppers this wouldn't be so bad. I would have chosen a more appropriate dock/hub for my application.

I own this hub, as well as another brand I won't name. While this hub looks significantly sleeker than the other hub, my biggest gripe is the main connection to the computer. The one cable which must *ALWAYS* remain plugged in is located at the front of the dock. Not sure why this was thought to be a good idea, but this requires you to creatively cable manage this main cable around the dock and back behind your desk.
The other hub does it right, providing the main connection point at the back of the hub. Thereby leaving the front of the hub for all the things which you might want to connect. I like that the SD card slot is at the front, in addition to a single USB-C 3.1, but I would have preferred a USB-A or two at the front as well. USB-A thumb drives are still a fixture in this digital world, and always having to plug them in the back is annoying.
Lastly, the USB-A ports at the back are extremely close together. In some cases, requiring your to unplug other connections in order to plug in a thumb drive (or even additional peripherals with thicker than average connectors).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sleek looking docking station with 2 HDMI cable ports, which was the main reason for the purchase. Performs well and as expected but sometimes the docking station can get warm if left on for hours.
On my MacBook, HDMI gives me 120hz in 4k using one monitor which is nice, no flickering no issues. But I would add more, USB PD ports, both front and back with higher wattage.
