Problems with usb devices

[SeanBond]

I have all the sudden been getting serious issues with usb devices just not responding, mainly my mouse and my 360 wireless dongle, sometimes it will just a hitch like while typing it just holds a key for 2 seconds or other times they go completely unresponsive until I change to a random usb port. In my usb list of device manager it looks like I have an insane amount of drivers here. Don't know what I need to keep or get rid of but I feel like I shouldn't have this many. 

 

 

Another much more minor issue, sound devices. I installed a couple new drivers and uninstalled for my gpu and upon going into my sound devices I have a ton of duplicates for my devices. Not sure what it means or if it even will cause a problem. 

 

@LabRat You seem to know about these things.

In regards to your USB issue - it may be motherboard/bios related - maybe you could give updating the BIOS a shot and see if it does anything? And in your Device manager that looks completely normal - mine has a lot too for only 4 usb ports on the back of the motherboard ( https://imgur.com/MOTcSDY ). 

In regards to the sound issue, I can't say what's going on there... It shouldn't cause you any issues though.

Bios hasn't been changed since window 10 launched and it's the latest bios. Nothing to update to. I uninstalled most of these drivers because looking into it I knew they would be reinstalled after launch which seemed to fix the stutter or jankyness with the mouse and keyboard but now the audio on my headset it randomly cutting out after a few minutes. It seems to be disappearing from playback devices. I can't catch a break.

That's good news that at least the USB issue seems fixed, I guess you also tried uninstalling all the audio devices too?

I did that. Still not working.

That sucks man... one last question - did you upgrade from an older windows to windows 10? When I've deployed Windows 10 upgrades I've had many driver issues come up... its quite annoying.

yeah, I came from windows 7. It wasn't up until september I started having any issues whatsoever with any kind of software.

On a Windows machine I upgraded I had audio issues that were similar, like dropping out, but it was the microphone - which made the main use of the machine (skype conferencing) useless... I tried uninstalling drivers like you did too but what fixed it in the end was installing drivers from the motherboard site that were specifically for Windows 10, and to this day I still cannot see why that fixed it, but it did. that's my 2 cents!

Okay, well It seems I figured out the audio problem. It was an invisible driver specific to my headset. I downloaded the driver from the manufacturer tried to install it and it asked if I wanted to remove the driver....whuuuu well I removed it and it seems to be okay. So I guess im good now?

Quite fascinating indeed.. It's good you solved your problem!

Maybe. We will see if things cause problems for me later.

all these years later and sound driver conflicts still do a lot to harm the workings of fine comp[uters.
