Ispecified the problem in aprevious post (Intel Z97 Chipset USB 3.0 drivers and Logitech G35 Headset incompatible.) butI have notreceived anyresponse, so I'lldescribethe problemagain. I ownheadphones A4Tech Bloody G501. I noticed thatthe headphonesdriveris incompatiblewithIntelUSB 3.0driver. InWindows7 SP1after anewinstallationof the operating system (without installing theIntelUSB 3.0driver) headphonesworks perfectly, as well as their software. AfterIinstall theIntelUSB 3.0driver, the headphonesare notrecognized by the system. If Iuninstall theIntelUSB 3.0driver,headsetworks perfectly inUSB 2.0 port and in USB3.0 port. On my systemmotherboard (Gigabyte GA Z97X Gaming 3) I have Z97 chipset. There alsohave anolderdesktopthatheadphonesworks perfectly, motherboard'snot haveUSB3.0 (sodid notneedIntel USB 3.0driver)and I haveaDell Inspiron N5110 laptop, it hasUSB 3.0 but usestheUSB 3.0driver from Renesas, theheadsetalsoworks perfectlyon mylaptop. NowI useWindows8.1 andtheIntelUSB 3.0driveris integratedin OS(no separateinstallation required),my problem isthat I can notuninstall the drivertouseheadphonesthatcan not usethe mouseand keyboard (USB connected). Howeverthiscould notbe a solution becausewhenIuninstall the IntelUSB3.0driver USB 3.0 portsbecomes USB 2.0 (transfer rate is reducedto the value ofUSB2.0).Itried to install Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller: 3.0.4.65, Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller: 3.0.5.69 and the driver from my motherboard CD (I'm not surewhich version) butwith the same result, headphonesdo not workafterinstalling the driver.
What can we do? Ialso needheadphonesandUSB 3.0!! I think thedriverhas someproblems since it isincompatible withtwo or maybe more manufacturers, in this case Logitech G35 and A4TechBloodyG501, totally differentmanufacturers !!
