USB 2.0 on A7V8X-X

[Mark Buckland]

Hi there,

Whenever I turn on my USB 2.0 device, Windows XP SP2 reports that the device
is connected to a non HI-SPEED port 'this device can work faster'. This
occurs whichever port at the back
of the machine I plug the device into.

I'm running the latest VIA 4in1 drivers. This does seem to be a problem as
Asus' website forum has questions similar to this, but with no answer.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

- Mark.

I had the same problem but SP2 fixed it for me.

No idea, sorry.

Mark,
I don't know your motherboard, but check your BIOS settings. Is USB set to
Fullspeed or Highspeed (or whatever variation it uses)? USB 1.1 offered
'slow' (2Mbs?) or 'fullspeed' (12Mbps); USB 2 offers 'slow' (2Mbps, but not
necessarily available), 'fullspeed' (12 Mbps) and 'highspeed' (480 Mbps).
It's confusing, yes, but 'highspeed' is 40x faster than 'fullspeed'!

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately the only USB settings my BIOS has is Disabled/1.1/1.1+2.0. Its
set to the latter :-(

Have you tried deleting USB entries in Device Manager ?
Windows should redetect the hardware if you do that.
There is a recipe here:
