TV says "Invalid Format" in GameMode

Hello guys! I'm using Bazzite on my Ally Z1E and when I try to connect it to my TV (through the JSAUX HB0801S dock), I'm getting the "Invalid format" message on my TV (LG B1)... not sure what to do as both screens are black.
When I connect it in Desktop mode, it works OK after I turn on "presentation mode" and connect it afterwards, then it somehow shows up and I can use it... but I need to use it in Game Mode to... well... play games.
To clarify a bit more: It works in Desktop mode (KDE) in 4K with VRR (FreeSync Premium), and also does work without issues in Windows in 4K and VRR (FreeSync Premium).
When I tried connecting Steam Deck to the TV through the same dock, there was no issue and everything has shown up on the TV. So the issue has to lie somewhere else.

Any help what to do?

Thanks!
