Why won't my MacBook Pro M4 detect Two Monitors?

I have connected 2 external monitors to my MacBook Pro M4 with Unisynk 9-port dock through HDMI. The dock is attached to computer with USB-C. MacBook won’t detect monitors as 2 separate ones but as 1 together. Is there any other way to get MacBook understand that those are individual monitors than attaching the other one directly to MacBook?

That supports up to two external displays, But NOT over ONE USB-C cable out of the Mac.


in order to support up to TWO unique displays on ONE cable out of a Mac, the PORT, the cable, and the first device (Dock or Display) must all be genuine ThunderBolt.


this would work with a ThunderBolt Dock. But USB-C cables have only half as many data pathways, and can't support two modern displays on a Mac.
