Make ASUS Dock to work in Ubuntu

cn flag

I've been presented with ASUS USB3.0_HZ-3A Plus Dock device as a gift recently and I've tried to use it under Ubuntu, but sadly, only USB hub is working with it (no audio or video).

Is it possible to make audio and video working? What steps should I take? I will be glad to provide any relevant details necessary.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
