pitstop

A little while back, Windows 10 pushed an update that messed up the way my USB ports see the real tone cable for whatever reason. No matter what I did, what settings I changed in the BIOS or Windows, nothing worked. In the end, I used my USB to USB-C adapter that came with my Galaxy S9 phone and plugged it into the USB-C port directly into the motherboard and it worked instantly. It has to have something to do with the amount of power the USB 3.0 and lower ports are putting out. Oddly enough when I plug my external 1TB drive that requires full USB power, it works just fine. For some reason, Windows 10 does not like this real tone cable on my current setup. It works fine on my laptop on the USB 3.0 port. I have read that people try buying a powered USB 3.0 hub and it works for them too when they don't have a USB-C port or adapter. I remember my device manager showing the Rocksmith driver as "ocksmith" or something else spelled wrong. As USB-C, it shows normally now. Go figure. It works. Good luck.
