So i only have a few usb ports on my motherboard is it possible to put my k65 keyboard,razer mouse,and DAC on a on a single USB hub, i dont think it will work but i want your opinion!

is it a powered hub? or are the devices connected powered by their own power supplies?
 

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

Assuming that DAC is USB powered it's going to need a lot of power and if it is competing with that Keyboard and Mouse it might not work. You'll need a powered hub.

As long as your hub is powered, you should be fine. I would see if you could find the power draw for your devices and then check on what your hub is capable of.

 

I had a really crappy off-brand hub that wouldn't even charge a cell phone, and then I also had a powered 4-port hub that probably could have ran my house.
