Hoping to find some docking options for HP notebook 15-db0005dx, there's no usb c port or docking port on the bottom either. Is it even possible? Can't run video/audio/power through a usb port...

Not power, but video and audio if you get the right device. You have a pair of USB 3.0 ports on the left as you look at the screen:

 

Manual 

 

You will need to use the laptop AC adapter but a port replicator, which is the technical name for one of these that does not power the laptop or turn it on and off, with DisplayLink can provide extended desktop over USB, audio, ethernet, etc.
