I'm using a Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H motherboard for a mythtv box which I've recently upgraded from an M2NPV-VM motherboard where I've never had an issue.

My problem is that no USB devices will work from power-up until approx 60 seconds after boot. The USB mouse and keyboard both work immediately at power up and in the BIOS, but then stop working as soon as GRUB starts up. This is more of an inconvenience but I've never seen USB devices not work for a period of time and then start working later.

Since the capture card I use is a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500 PCI card which has a built-in USB 2.0 hub and 2x USB 2.0 tuners in this also doesn't work. Unlike the mouse/keyboard which start working after 60 seconds, this capture card never works.

I think the problem is the USB 2.0 hub on the Hauppauge card is being incorrectly identified as a USB 1.1 hub, dmesg shows :

[   55.181377] usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd
[   55.319431] usb 4-1: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub

[   57.474138] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dib0700

Under dmesg, all message look fine up until 17 seconds in where there is a large delay of about 37 seconds related to USB issues.

I've had this capture card working fine with previous versions of ubuntu and other motherboards, but I suspect the issue is USB related.

lsusb shows the capture card as :

Bus 004 Device 002: ID 2040:9950 Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T-500

uname -a shows the kernel as :

3.2.0-24-generic-pae

I am using an Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz

Ubuntu version 12.04 LTS with all updates applied.

I've tried changing several BIOS options related to USB and looked into ACPI type issues and tried ACPI kernel options but have come up blank, it seems nothing I change makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for any help

  • I don't think the Hauppage device is the hub referred to. Unless you have an external hub, the message is talking about one of the hubs implemented on the chip set on the motherboard. They are present on all systems with USB ports. Have you tried moving the device from one USB port to the others? One of my computers had USB ports that couldn't be run as 2.0 devices. Another had lot's of errors on one of the USB ports (fixed with a new motherboard but moving my Hauppage to a different port circumvented the problem).

I've fixed this issue, the Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H needed a BIOS upgrade to version F15 to make it work.

John S Gruber - this most definitely is a PCI device with a USB hub which reports having 2 DVB-T tuners attaced
