So it does support DP Alt mode?

That just says it provides DisplayPort output. I'm told that it does not necessarily mean it supports DP Alt mode.

I have an HP USB-C travel hub G2 and when I plug it into the laptop's USB-C port and a monitor into the HDMI port on the hub I don't get a signal at the monitor.

Product introduced 2016

It might not...

I finally found the data I was searching for earlier - and that source does not confirm the Display Port connection type.

The User Guide and Service Guide are not in complete agreement (details) - this can happen when models within a series might be different.  It can also happen as a result of errors in the documentation.  ?

@banhien 

I might have botched this answer - can you assist?

For the moment, based on what I can find now, my answer is No.

Your machine is an HP ENVY x360 - m6-aq105dx, its specs

          https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05315774

It has

• 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (HP Sleep and Charge);
• 1 USB 3.1 (Type-C™);
• 1 HDMI;
• 1 headphone/microphone combo.

You can NOT use its USB-C port to charge your machine.

It can sleep and charge means it can charge your phone, tablet using USB-C port when it sleeps. Same as other USB-A port.

Regards.

Thank you guys.

That confirms what I was thinking, so I can move on and try a different option.
