asmedia usb 3.0 extensible host controller driver windows 7

'I have an Asus P8Z77-V Pro motherboard under Windows 8 Pro (64 bit). #INTEL USB 3.0 HOST CONTROLLER DRIVER WINDOWS 7 64 BIT PRO# The motherboard has eight USB 3.0 ports (seven of which are connected - four in the back, three up front).

Four of those ports use the ASMedia 3.0 Chipset Controller and four use Intel's Z77 Chipset. Windows 8 sees every one of those USB 3.0 ports as USB 2.0 ports.

Prior to clean installing Windows 8 a couple of days ago, Windows 7 correctly identified the hard drive (WD6401AALS) mounted in my USB 3.0 docking station (StarTech SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to Dual 2.5/3.5in SATA Hard Drive Docking Station) as using a USB 3.0 interface and transferred files to and from it in excess of 100 MB/sec. Under Windows 8, even when booted into Safe Mode, the connection is only recognized as USB 2.0 (with about a 36 MB/sec transfer rate). Under Devices and Printers, the device shows up as AS2105 and when I hover over it, Windows 8 tells me 'Status: Device can perform faster if connected to USB 3.0'. I did a clean install, loaded no other USB drivers, applied the Intel Chipset driver package from Asus' site (after finding that my USB 3.0 docking station (recognized as such) was only giving me USB 2.0 speeds), both Intel's and Asmedia's ports are affected, and with that drive plugged into its current USB port, have the following under my Universal Serial Bus controllers tree in Device Manager: #INTEL USB 3.0 HOST CONTROLLER DRIVER WINDOWS 7 64 BIT DRIVERS#īut, for some reason, it won't recognize the USB 3.0 ports/chipsets that it's connected to as actually being USB 3.0Įxcept for one oddness, everything looks good in Device Manager under the USB tree: there is one device called 'SuperSpeed USB Hub (Non Functional).' I don't understand the 'Non Functional' in the name: according to the Properties, 'This device is working properly.'Īnyway, it appears the Windows 8 USB 3.0 drivers don't work.'įrom my thread on Asus' forums (where I have gotten some suggestions): So, it recognizes the device and cable as being USB 3.0 capable.
