P2422HE, daisy chain, second USB Type-A not working
I have two Dell P2422HE monitors daisy chained together via the included DisplayPort cable. Is there anyway to make the USB Type-A ports on both P2422HE functional? The P2422HE with the USB-C connection has working USB Type-A ports while the 'daisy-chained' second P2422HE only supplies power through the USB Type-A ports. Is there any way to make the USB Type-A ports on the second P2422HE be functional as well? Or do I need an adapter to split off the USB-C signal from my laptop?

For the 1st P2422HE USB Type-A ports to be seen by the Laptop operating system, you connected the USB Type-C to C cable from 1st P2422HE USB Type-C upstream port to the Laptop USB Type-C. So two cables used = DP to DP and USB Type-C to C
To allow the Laptop operating system to see the 2nd P2422HE USB Type-A ports, the 2nd P2422HE will need an additional USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable connected to the Laptop USB Type-A port.
2nd P2422HE USB Type-C upstream port --> USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable --> Laptop USB Type-A port
