Thanks for posting this! I've spent close to $200 in cables and adapters to try to fix this problem- everything is fine with stock, but i started using the KIWI pulley system to make the cables more manageble, which is awesome!

Here is a link if anyone is unfamiliar with KIWI:

But using that, you need to have extensions- i used this to extend the display port cable:

That works with no problem. But whenever i try to extend the USB, i get horrible audio noise, so much so that it's unuseable. This is what i've tried so far:

And i've tried them in all different combinations- as you can see one of the usb cables is an active usb extension, that didn't seem to help.

I did find a thread where someone found a powered USB hub- others have used other powered USB hubs that didn't work, but this partcular hub seemed to work, someone else who otherwise couldn't find a solution later bought the same hub and fixed the same problem. But this hub is from a foreign site, and i haven't found an equivelant on amazon yet.

Here is the link to the usb hub that worked for two people that tried: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZV6FHWF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In short- extending the cables has been no problem for the video, but whichever USB extension i use doesn't work- i always get horrible noise and distortion. I'm using a laptop that has usb3 ports. It also has one of the USB type c extensions- i've tried getting different converters to go from usb 3 to usbc, but i always end up with win10 telling me that there is an unrecognized device, and unable to point it to a driver that it likes.

If we can all compare notes, maybe we can find a solution. I mentioned i've spent a ton of different cables and adapters, i don't mind spending more if anyone has suggestions... I know for a fact that some people have gotten a USB extension to work- i just haven't been able to find anyone who will specify exactly which they are using, other than the link above, which i won't be able to buy from..
