Lap docks+Pie

So how are the lapdocks working with the Pie update nowadays?

I have been loving mine. I purchased it a little over a month ago, and the only real big issue I had was the audio output to the lapdock was sometimes non-existent, requiring me to restart the phone or lapdock or both just to get the sound to come from the lapdock. In the past couple weeks I no longer have that problem. As soon as I connect the phone audio works without issue. Maybe they pushed an update? It's definitely worth the money. I love this damn thing.

I currently own one of these monitors for my laptops

and was thinking i could use it with my S8 with something like this

Wondering if that could be used to power the Monitor off the USB 3 port while I have a keyboard plugged into the USB 2 port and the HDMI out to the monitor

As for a mouse I already own a Razer Atheris that works perfectly fine with the S8 in dex mode. I have a USB-c to hdmi adapter already but it doesn't allow for charging of the S8 unlike the one I linked to. Only real thing that the linked adapter is missing would be sd/ms slot/slots but I can work around that using the Ravpower RP-WD03 I already own and am thinking of replacing with a newer RP-WD009 which supports 5ghz unlike my current 03.

As for audio I have multiple options. I could use the speakers built into the monitor a pair of earbuds/headphones plugged into the phone or my Anker Soundcore 2 bluetooth speaker.
