Is it the outlet? Is it the dock? The power brick? The usb c cable? I honestly don’t know. This is what I’m using:

Dock: JSAUX Docking Station Compatible… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B28PCDM2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Brick: UGREEN 100W USB C Charger, Nexode… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091Z6JNX4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Cable: https://share.temu.com/tw2FkuTn6LA (I will admit I cheaped out on the cable)

Is there alternatives to anything I’m using that you guys recommend?

Is there something to make my outlets output the sufficient wattage or whatever to properly charge the deck?

      The cable from your main post is probably fine - cheapest, shitty cables won’t have e-marker chips (yours says it has one).

      The issue is most likely with the port on the charger, like the other guy said. You should test all type-C ports, because sometimes the manufacturer lies and only one of them actually provides full power.

      A lot of the time, what these “multi-port” chargers do is they have one port hooked up to the fancy multi-voltage converter, and then all the other ports are ganged up to one 5v converter. Doing anything fancier would cost just as much as two power supplies. If two beefier-than-a-phone-charger power supplies is what you want, there isn’t really a better solution than buying two separate power supplies.

      That cable is rated properly for your use, though the one from your OP is also properly rated, and very broadly the stuff you get from Amazon from a reputable brand is going to be fine. The dock is probably fine, as well.

      The monitor shouldn’t affect anything regarding charging, as long as you pay attention to the ports you use, as detailed in my other comment.
