I don't know if it's a software issue or a hardware issue.

Ok, to be clear I meant that people seem to often have issues connecting to a USB 3.0/3.1 port but connecting to USB 2.0 is more consistent. This bears out with my Libra, it will not be seen by any computer if I plug into a USB 3.0 port, but works fine plugged into USB 2.0 on the same computers. This is true across multiple computers. Maybe there’s even a difference between models such as my Libra and your Aura, who knows.
Anyway that’s not the point, the point is that the ports on the new M1 macs are a new protocol, different even from the USB-C ports on the current Intel macs. That seems to be the problem and it looks like using a 2.0 hub “downgrades” the port to a spec that the Kobo can recognize.
