Issue switching HDMI on external hub (alien.top)

I have a 12th gen i5 Framework 13 running Windows 11 Home (licensed) and a no-name USB-C hub with two HDMI outputs (link below) - one to a monitor and one to a projector. They all work fine with excellent image quality, but when I switch one display off or turn another one on, the video won't switch over unless I unplug the hub and plug it back in. The audio channel is not switched over automatically either - I have to go into sound settings and manually switch from internal speakers to HDMI out.

This all worked fine on my 12 year old Elitebook running Windows 10 with it's OEM docking station. Would this be an issue with the hub, the Framework hardware or Windows 11? Does anyone use multiple HDMI outs on a generic hub and have no problems with sound and video switching nicely?

Ah...I used Display Port to HDMI adapters with the Elitebook, so I guess that is why it worked better. Thanks!
