Windows 10: Asmedia 1074 USB hub drivers

My Asrock X99 OC Formula uses Asmedia 1074 USB hubs to add USB3 ports. (These aren't USB3 controllers; they're simply hubs.) I believe that these include the USB3 front panel ports.

I think that I have a problem with those. My Seagate external USB3 backup drive, for example, only works if plugged into one of the rear panel USB3 ports. (Some of those are also off the Asmedia hubs. I haven't verified that the ports that work are the Intel ones.) USB3 flash drives work with the front panel USB3 ports, but at about the same data rate as the USB2 ones.

I think that the drivers that show up in Device Manager for the hubs are "Generic Superspeed USB Hub" ones. They have a device ID of USB\VID_174C&PID_3074.

Are there better drivers for the Asmedia hubs? All that I've found so far are for controllers like their 1042 ones. Not hubs.

This isn't a life-altering issue, but it'd be convenient if the front panel USB3 ports worked as well as the ones in the I/O panel.

Thanks for any advice.

Help with BSOD death diagnosis (ran mdsched and verifier w/ results uploaded)

The file that failed was Asmedia USB 3.0 driver, not the hub one.

If you have a USB hub(multiple 3.0 ports), you should then install USB hub driver.

 

BSOD Stop Code: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Thanks for the quick response. I should have mentioned, I assembled this desktop myself. I checked the site of motherboard manufacturer, the version on their latest USB driver is "Asmedia_USB3_V1.16.35.1", and the version on my computer's device manager
is:

ASMedia USB Root Hub --> 1.16.47.2

ASMedia USB Root Hub --> 1.16.47.2

ASMedia USB Root Hub --> 1.16.47.2

ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller --> 1.16.35.1

ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller --> 1.16.35.1

ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller --> 1.16.35.1

(not sure why it has 3 entries for each)

I went ahead and installed it anyway, after restarting the PC, both are showing 1.16.35.1, I will have to wait for some time to see if it gives a BSOD.

 

No clues after 22 hours?

C'est la vie.

Happy 2016, all.
