(Long, TL/DR post - Sorry!!)
Hello all, I've built about twenty new builds for friends and family and repaired so many PC's and laptops over the years I've lost count. I decided it was time I treated myself to a new build after ten years, What I've put together, Mobo, processor, RAM. Processor and RAM are on the ASUS QVL:
Asus Tuf B450 Gaming plus motherboard (latest BIOS 2022)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
32Gb Corsair DDR4 3600 RGB Pro
Same graphics card (have to wait for an upgrade) MSI Radeon R9 290
SSD's/HDD's... Windows 10 64 Pro.
(Old build was Gigabyte 890.... AMD Phenom ii X4 965 BE, 16 Gb DDR3 1666 and never an issue with USB sound cards)
I do some down mixing and tracking from the studio at home, I've got both Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 vers.1 and vers.3 USB interfaces, the new build hates both of the cards and will not correctly recognise either despite latest drivers from Focusrite, Scarlett software or Pro-tools or other DAW's, even using compatible Focusrite or Windows drivers. They will partially work but I cannot physically control the monitor/mains output and have to rely on Windows volume control (ugh!) for output to mains out (active monitors). This is a motherboard/USB/Windows issue but all chipset drivers are up to date, I've also tried an Alesis i/o2 with a little more success as I can control main out this just a glorified USB card and isn't reliable for pro audio.
The overriding problem is when shutting down/booting/entering sleep/waking from sleep there is a loud thump from the monitors indicating that the USB is turned off when in sleep/shutdown/boot/wake mode. In the UFEI I've disabled Erp (power saving), Disabled any power saving state modes (S3/S5 etc), Enabled both USB power state ON (bloody confusing Enable/Disable modes) and according to Asus (kind of/useless) that this 'might' keep USB powered in sleep/off/on etc. Nope! In Windows the Power plan is Ryzen Balanced but I've disabled USB selective suspend, and even plugging all of the interfaces using a powered USB hub - nope.
I've scoured the internet and just about every bleedin' article is how to disable USB power whilst in standby/off! GRRRR! This seems to affect a few other MB's so isn't just an Asus thing, All I want is not to have the thump when the PC wakes without resorting to turn off the Sub and main monitors before entering sleep/off/waking/boot etc.
Any ideas?
Muchas gracias
