Good Morning All! I have an issue with a USB 3.0 where im trying to replace a USB-A 3.0 head with a USB-C 3.0 head. Ive soldered some flying leads onto a USB-C 3.0 socket PCB and then connected these leads to the USB-A cable (where i cut one of the heads off) Using a multimeter i can see there is continuity between all the pinouts correctly. However, when im plugging this cable into a PC and a device. The device is only being recognised as USB 2.0 instead of the USB 3.0 (which the device is definitely a USB3.0 device as i have plugged in a USB-A to USB-C cable and all is working correctly) Im wondering if anyone has an experience or notes on custom making USB 3.0 cables. Im 100% sure i have the Tx+/Tx- and Rx+/Rx- connected correctly. I had no idea that USB 3.0 was so complex to get working compared to USB 2.0 where you can just put any connector on and it works!! Thanks for any advice guys ! -K

Hello everyone! First post here after reading a lo and not finding proper answers! First the machine specs: Laptop model: Asus 2021 ROG Zephyrus G15 - GA503QS model (https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-zephyrus/2021-rog-zephyrus-g15-series/helpdesk_bios) CPU: Ryzen 9 5900HS RAM: 32GB GPU: RTX 3080 8GB OS: Win 10 The issue: I do own several USB-C HUBs with mutliple outputs (HDMI, Ethernet, USB Type A, etc) none of them works with the existing USB-C ports of the machine. All drivers are updated and BIOS is also updated to last version. I am not able to plug either a screen or any USB device to the HUB that is connected to either of the two different USB-C ports that the laptop has. All the other USB ports and connections work perfectly fine. After some research I think I stumbled upon a the crappy mess of the new USB standards....The ports are supposed to be "USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C support DisplayPort™ / power delivery / G-SYNC" . All the Hubs that I have work fine with my other Intel machines, the one I have been using the most and I need on the new machine is this one (https://www.newegg.com/p/0J2-005J-00016) I do think there is an issue related to compatibility. I just grabbed this laptop for work on the go (currently squeezing UE5 in a AAA project) so having multiple screens, headphones, microphone, wacom cintiq, mouse, multiple gamepads connected at the same time is a must for me. I can handle it for a while connecting and disconnecting stuff around....but not ideal. Do you know of a good USB C that really works with USB3.2 Gen 2 Type-shutthefuckupwhyyoudothis?!??!?! protocol? Do you know for sure this isn't related to a poor usb implementation from AMD/ASUS side? I don't think is driver related, but did you have any driver issues related to this? Let me know If I there is already a similar topic on the forums, wasn't able to find it. Thanks for any help you can give me! -
Specs (Relevant): Mainboard: Asrock Extreme 4 B550 IPad: IPad Pro 21 12,9“ Excuse my englisch please im not an native-speaker IMG_0169.MP4 Okay so Hear me out, im shutting off my PC as usual and flicking my little Off Switch on the back of the PSU. Then i Notice some weird blinking in some Part of my Mainboard. To my suprise the RGB-LEDs and The debug code display lit up. I was thinking im going insane. Now the thing i noticed was that my Ipad Pro 21 was still connected via USB-C to the USB-C port of the Mainboard because i use it as a Portable second Monitor that needs the wired connection. I unplugged the IPad because i thought it might deliver the Power from the IPad via USB. And to my suprise i was right the IPad powered The mainboard. So my Question now. Is this Harmful? is the current and voltage being controlled? Is this generally Safe? Like that made me wonder why that would happen… I would love to read and reply to your answers soon. Greetings From, Germany -
Hello, I am trying to make M.2 NVME compatible with a duplicator that we have which is SATA based. I am trying to find solutions as an M.2 duplicator from waht I have observed is expensive and may not have compatability with SATA based drives still. I am hoping that with an M.2 to USB-C adapter, I can then use a USB-C to SATA cable in order to then plug the USB-C end into the M.2 adapter and then plug the SATA end into the duplicator dock, then hopefully all being well it will work. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this or can shed any light as to whether it will work or why it won't, etc. Just before I get it purchased and commit to anything to save me having to return it or being stuck with it. Relevant Images below (Duplicator is exact, adapter and cable is example, not currently obtained:

Hi, I just got a monitor with USB C and I already have a GPU with USB C output. Any benefits using USB C instead of DP? Beside data transfer. Quality? Frames? Max output? I have 3440x1440 165hz monitor.

Is it possible to use a usb-c output to a thunderbolt 2 monitor? I have an RTX 2080 in my system and am looking at purchasing an Apple thunderbolt display. I am assuming I need some sort of adapter or certain cable, but I am unsure if it will work in the first place.

Summary Manufacturers will be forced to create a universal charging solution under a new rule proposed by the European Commission. Apple has warned such a move would harm innovation. Quotes My thoughts I think having a universal standard like USB C is an amazing Idea. The connector has so much future potential with regards to bandwidth I believe Apple is being stubborn on the topic as usual. when Lighting is such an out of date connector.

Everyone knows that macs have thunderbolt ports. My mac does too. I have a thunderbolt dock. It has two DisplayPort outputs. Here's the thing. I am the curious type, and I'm wondering, has anyone connected a mac to a display using USB-C alt mode? Any youtube videos or blog posts? It's easy to mistake Thunderbolt 3 DisplayPort and USB-C alt mode DisplayPort. I'll repeat myself: I already have thunderbolt. It works fine. -
Its pretty common for laptops to have usb c ports that with hubs/dock be split off to HDMI, ethernet, several usb, etc. Can the same be said for usb c ports from a computer's motherboard/usb c pcie expansion? What do I need to look for in pcie expansion cards to have that capability? I'm in a situation where I need to constantly move my pc between my Living room for and my room fairly frequently until I can save up for a dedicated pc in the living room. I think having a usb c hub ready in my room already setup to my drawing monitor/monitor/keyboard will save me a lot of time fumbling with ports and shit.

I recently purchased a laptop, The Asus Laptop 15 X515JA. I needed the extra ports provided when using a usb-c hub with the laptop. Upon trying to use a usb-c hub. It showed up with error that the device is not recognized. The usb-c hub's ports behaved as followed The usb 3.1 ports only ran at usb 2 . The HDMI port just didn't work at all. The ethernet worked. I tested with another hub and got the same results. I updated the drivers in device manager and that still did no solve my issue. -
I need an USB-C hub which connects to my USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with DP 1.4 port. The Displayport is the most important thing from everything else but I would also need multiple USB-A ports for peripherals and other stuff. The DP should be capable of 1080p at 144 Hz (or 120 Hz im still deciding(or 1440p 120 Hz)). -
Okay to explain my charger port broke on my note 9 and I wanna hold on to this phone because newer phones just aren't worth it. So I got a charger port from ebay which I just installed it and the mic doesn't work during calls and on discord I sound very distanced from the mic. I got new back glass too but I ended breaking my old one and new one prying off the back glass sadly when I realized something wasn't right. I did test it before putting the back glass on but it didn't help matters when it was reassembled. So I ordered the charger port from Ifix it this time (which prior I didn't know was possible, new back glass with plastic covering the adhesive because the other one didn't have new adhesive just the old that was oddly reusable, and a case both from ebay . Overall tho I'm just curious to why it didn't work and or how I could test the mic to make sure it doesn't work completely because it does charges with the usb c port now. -
My partner has a 2019 Macbook Air with USB C Thunderbolt3 ports. She also has two Apple LG 4K Monitors and KBM (these monitors painfully only use usb c thunderbolt). She want to build a gaming PC and use the same KBM and Monitors with this PC. Looking for a decent usb c thunderbolt 3 switch? that takes two pc inputs -
I recently bought an XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Merc 319 for my gaming rig, and I've been looking into VR headsets because I want to play Beat Sabre and Half Life Alyx. At the moment I am leaning towards the Oculus Quest 2 because it is not as expensive as others and I don't want to mess around with external sensors. Like many RDNA 2 cards, my card has a USB C output which is often referred to in relation to VR, and if I understand correctly is some sort of implementation of VirtualLink which is "dead" but simultaneously "not dead"? My main question is whether there is any documentation available anywhere about what this port does, what it is compatible with etc. i.e. could I use it to connect a Quest 2 via Oculus Link?

Hey Everyone, I love my MacBook Pro 2017 - specs in my signature (since its part of the issue, it is the version with just 2 USB-C Ports), although I wouldn't mind one with higher specs - but that's a different discussion for another time. Brief Description of issue: Basically, I'm running into an issue where my MacBook is losing internet Wi-Fi connectivity when I use a dongle or a USB-C to A adapter. I think know what's causing it - according to other users on the internet, its due to the shielding (or lack there off) in the adapters. Its causing the signal to either short or block or something. Now, this is annoying for many reasons - most notably, the lack of Wi-Fi, but more so that due to the lack of storage on my machine (only 128GB SSD) I basically have to use external storage, and I also like to use my MacBook on my monitor while I'm at a desk - for that odd occasion for when I decide to use OS X. As such, I need the extra ports provided either by a dongle or a dock. Main Question: Can anyone recommend a good, fairly cost effective dock that can provide multiple USB-A Ports (preferably at USB 3.0 Speeds for storage purposes), at least 1 HDMI output, and possibly an ethernet port. But most importantly, they know or at least can confirm that they do not cause any signal issues with the MacBook Pro. I don't use Thunderbolt, so if possible - I want to avoid getting a Thunderbolt Dock as it would basically just end up being used as a glorified USB-C Hub. My budget is around the £20-£30 mark. I don't really want to spend more, but if I have to - then I will. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and sorry for making you read a wall of text - but I though it'd be best to at least explain the problem.

hello, I need help because I have no idea about monitors, there are so many and so many things to consider that I don't know how to do. I need a monitor with a type C port to connect a MacBook Pro that I use to work. I would keep the resolution as high as possible without scaling problem. also space is important so around 24-27 inches, no more because I have not much space and I usually move every 6 months so I need something can I can put In a car easily. I will also use it for gaming, nothing too fancy, no competitive gaming but I like a nice resolution. price should be around 350 euros. do you have any suggestion? thank you so much in advance.

I made the mistake of confusing the USB C Gen 1 and 2 wehn buying myself a motherboard, and now I ended up with a VDH WIFI PRO board which only comes with a USB C Gen 1 header. I wanted to add an expansion so that I could have the USB C Gen 2 entrance, but I can't figure out how. I saw that there is a USB 3.0 to USB C Gen 2 gadget that could fix the problem, but this board only has one of those and I want to still be able to use it. My thought process then was to find a cable that coud give me another USB 3.0 header, but because this board is a micro ATX, there is not the additional PCIE entrance to work it. I need to find a way to directly get USB C Gen 2 header or be get an extra USB 3.0 header to use the expansion gadget with it. Any links to cables or ideas I could use to fix this are more than welcome. -
Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help. So I bought this Dell G3 3590 about a month ago and ever since I first used it, I have been experiencing problems when connecting anything via USB-C to it. When I plug my phone to use it with Dex, it almost never works, and when I tried to connect an iPad via the USB-C port, it also just charges it, with no connection appearing on Windows (everything works just fine via the USB-A ports, though). Also, even when I plugged a USB-C headset, it kinda worked (audio was normal but the mic wouldn't record) but showed "not enough USB controller resoures", even though it was the only thing connected. In device manager, it shows as "Unknown USB Device (Port Reset Failed)". I have tried the BIOS, as well as updating all the drivers, but no luck so far. Don't know if it is an issue on Windows 10 v. 2004 or some kind of interference between it and some Dell or Nvidia driver.
-
I can connect my S20 with my monitor (HP Pavillion 32QHD) via a USB-C Cable (10 Gbit/s) and DEX instantly works. The resolution is set to 1080p even though my monitor is 1440p and my phone shows a 1440p option, which I`m not able to choose (btw, my monitor supports DP 1.2 via USB-C), so the monitor, the cable and my phone should support everything that`s needed for 1440p. Is that a restriction from Samsung to use their proprietary HDMI adapter or is there some software solution/setting I first need to activate? Hope someone can help me.

Hello there, im new to the Forum and i had a Question regarding USB Chargers. I just recently Ordered a Dell XPS 13 7390, i got a Oneplus 7T Pro and a Nintendo Switch. Since all of these devices use a USBC Charger i was thinking about just using one for all of those devices for Travel. My Problem is that i dont know much about different Wattages and all of that (basically Chargers in general), so i was wondering if somebody could recommend a "one for all" device to me, that can handle all of them. Thanks in advance yeebig

Thought about those quirky boards that adds a full size pcie for an external GPU through the Laptop's mini pcie slot usually used for wifi adapter and thought to myself if it has enough bandwidth for a gpu why not an add in card for usb c/usb 3.1? after searching around I manage to stumble upon this one: https://cablematic.com/en/products/adapter-minipcie-to-usb-31-type-c-reversible-MS07300/ Using this can it theoretically connect to a usb hub that can output hdmi to an external monitor and all the other one cable wonder that usb c can provide? The convenience factor is several times over worth giving up having wifi. And will be a matter of just placing in the card, buying a usb c extension cable and make a hole in the laptop's housing to accommodate the usb c port. Is any of this possible as I described it?

The current USB specification as implimplemted by the USB-IF is misguided at best, and never should have been registered! Charging your laptop or powering your monitor from USB shouldn’t ever have been added to the specifications and it’s ruining USB! Why do I say this? try to get a USB C hub. A hub that connects Via USB C and has 4 - 10 USB C ports so we can use our new USB C devices, oh, I'm sorry you can't. The reason for this? The specification requires 100 watts per port Simple math for then tells you for a basic hub you would be talking 400 watts of power, and for a 10 port hub you are talking 1000 watts of power, consumer electronics at those power ranges would be prohibitively expensive and manufacturers know that they would not sell enough of them to make a profit. This is just 1 part of the specification that is problematic, the specification also requires all USB C devices to accept a wide range of voltages which is problematic for electronics. The most you can get is a splitter, a device that plugs in via USB C and then has 2 USB C outputs, and they are ridiculously expensive. Powering small things like HDs and mice is one thing but printers, charging power hungry gaming laptops, and monitors is BS and screwed up the USB specification. The USB C specification should focus on high data rates and be low power. Please leave the high power stuff to dedicated power supplies. EDIT: after actually reading the specification for myself, WOW what a read! I have found that my assertions that every port must have 100 watts available is incorrect. So now I'm stumpted as to why no one is making this product. the ICY Dock that was found is the closest, but it's only available in the EU. For anyone that is interested here is the relevent section that covers the power information from the current USB specification.

Hi all, I have built my first gaming pc (on a budget) about a month ago. Running an Asrock B450M Steel Legend MOBO, with a ryzen 3300X cpu. I am running in to an issue where I wanted to use the USB C port on the motherboard, however when anything is plugged in I don’t receive anything in windows other than “this USB device is not working properly”. Every other USB port is working flawlessly, both on the MOBO and the case. Please help with some suggestions, I am not the best computer wiz but I think I can muster my way around what needs doing once I receive some advice. I have checked the bios settings but nothing seems obvious, and after numerous google searches I figured I might as well create an account, and see if my first post here could be a success! If I have left out any other relevant information, please see ask for required specs
