Hey everybody, has anyone encountered the problem where devices like USB sticks, keyboards, and mice do not receive power?

Here is a short explanation:
I got an OTG adapter for my Pixel Phone, and when I try to use it to connect a USB stick or a mouse, it does not work.

But here is the fishy part: it works fine in the BIOS, so it is not a hardware issue. Both the mouse and USB-stick are detected and functional in the BIOS. I have already figured out that it is a power problem; in desktop mode, my keyboard and mouse won’t even receive power. Is this the result of a weird USB-C protocol, and can I somehow work around it? I thought maybe some of you have encountered a similar behavior.
Additionally, I also tried connecting the keyboard without the OTG adapter, just using a USB-C cable with the deck, and it simply does not work.

For me it seems like an Software Issue.

Information about my Deck:
It runs on SteamOS 3.5.7

And the Os is Stock, because I received it yesterday

    I should have mentioned this as well. I also got an OLED. The same adapter worked on my LCD without problems. And a friend tested the keyboard with his LCD.

    But I’m a bit glad to hear that it is not only my Deck with this behavior. But also I find it annoying that I have to connect a powered dock just to use a USB drive or a keyboard.
