Lasted 4 hours and crapped out, or lasted 4 hours until you turned your machine off?

Harumph.

I know it's not something you're gonna want to be part of your final setup, but can you use a powered hub instead for testing?

I would probably have a powered USB 3.0 hub if it all works so I only have one thing to plug in. I think it's time to buy one.

It gets more and more confusing this attempted setup.

Powered USB 3.0 hub arrived. Plugged everything in:
HDMI-USB adapter
Wireless Key+Mouse adapter
USB sound adapter

Everything works, oh, except the WiFi/Internet. WiFi is connected but I can't ping anything at all, not even local addresses. I happen to plug in a normal USB 2.0 hub into the laptop with nothing attached, and the pings come back to life! Bonkers.

I also bought a 2nd HDMI-USB adapter to see if I can get everything on one hub/cable. Two at once didn't seem to want to work properly so I'll have a better play later.

Have you tried turning the bathroom light off and on again?

There must some other wiring fault at work here. Bathroom lights are only connected to broadband outages, IIRC.

USB hub/wireless problems are generally related to lamps, doorbells or poltergeists. Either way, I'd recommend getting a priest in.

Tried it, just killed the broadband to the whole network, not just the computer.

It seems to be working quite well now (ignoring the WiFi issue).

Powered USB 3.0 hub is running
USB to HDMI adapter
Ethernet adapter
Sound adapter
Keyboard/mouse

Not yet tried two USB-HDMI adapters again.

For less than £20 I've managed to put together (with a lots of wires hidden away) something like the £100+ docks.

I think the powered hub is what has got rid of the disconnects. I would have expected the laptop USB 3.0 ports to be up to the job but I guess not. But having the hub means only one cable to connect for 4 devices so it's what I wanted anyway.

Was the laptop was doing power-saving stuffs or do you keep it plugged in?

I turned off the power saving stuff as Graphitone suggested, possibly improved things. Laptop is always plugged in whilst using the adapter.
