The HDMI issue seems to be fixed in the main update channel, although there's an equally annoying bug where home/overlay menus stop working while you have bluetooth controllers connected.
Glad you found a good work around though.

Hm no luck for me - I'm using a BenQ gaming projector so I'm not sure if TVs and Projectors behave differently in terms of HDMI. Sometimes I still need to "power cycle" the AC adapter to get an image after just switching from gaming mode to desktop mode
Brilliant solution!
Thanks!
Using the official dock, I don't have a picture until I sleep cycle* my Deck if the TV is not on before waking it up. There is no picture on either display until then.
Also I am using a tiny keyboard for waking up the Steam Deck and it never works if I replugged the device without another sleep cycle.
It's not great, but at least there are some workarounds. Which work for me.
*Sleep cycle means waking up the device and putting it back to sleep at least once
Hm interesting - try unplugging the charger from the back of the dock and plugging it back in while the deck is still awake, that's what this approach hopes to automate
I have similar issues using a jsaux dock. My solution was to build a habit of turning on the tv then pressing the deck power button.
It’s not great, but it works. I do have a few unused smartplugs floating around though, I might have to give this a try
Ha I had the same habit but the deck is a little bit away and sometimes its a pain (especially while eating) to set everything down to go power on the deck. That's what led me to chase WoL (and now power on AC)
