TrackIR 5 hangs seconds after initialization on USB 3.0

Post by SEKCobra »

Hey,

I jsut bought a TrackIR 5, and when plugging it in USB3.0 and starting the softwar,e it captures a few frames and tracks fine for 2 seconds, then it jsut freezes all input. It won't disable the camera properly anymore either. When I plugged it in via the HUB connected to the legacy 2.0 header it works fine. I am using the GIGABYTE Z77X-D3G motherboard.

USB 3.0 chipsets are supposed to be backwards compatible when a USB 2 device is plugged in. However several chipsets have issues actually doing this so we recommend, if possible, to plug your TrackIR into a native USB 2 port.
