Windows 10: Latest ASMedia USB xHCI and Root Hub Drivers

I have noticed, that MS installs its own driver over ASMedia's, which might cause issues.

Even, if you have automatic driver installation disabled, some updates might change it.

Since ASMedia does not provide direct downloads, only 3rd party links are provided.

Last Updated: Oct 11th 2017

DRIVER VERSION: 1.16.50.1

Driver Date: 11-Oct-17

(32-bit and 64-bit Windows)

​Microsoft Update Catalog (contains both drivers)


:)

 

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.

Hi,

The computer has has a USB 2.0. I expanded the Universal Serial Bus Controller and it doesn't say USB device port driver. It says:

ASMedia XHCI Controller

Generic USB Hub

Intel(R) Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller-1C26

Intel(R) Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller-1C2D

USB Composite Device

USB Mass Storage Device

USB Printing Support

USB Root Hub.

Which one of these do I update?

Hi,

Please can someone help me with this *Sad

Since the last windows 10 update i am having trouble in particular with one driver called:ASMedia USB Root Hub DriverThis USB keeps installing itself and never stops. I keep hearing the windows beep that usually comes when you insert a new usb input into your computer. I have also tried uninstalling this and installing it again, but still same issue.It only stops beeping if i completly uninstall this driver or disable it. But then obiouvsly the USB doesnt even work.To be honest im nto even sure which USB input it is? Is it motherboard based or external? Ive spent many hours scratching my head to no avail, please if you could help in anyway it would be really appreciated!!

I have already tried installing the driver given above but still same issue even with 1.16.47.1Thanks.

 

Ah dont worry about it, i actually just managed to solve it by uninstalling them both again, then removing the usb input and changing it around with another usb input. Took me a few good hours, but managed to solve it in the end *Biggrin

 

I am using windows 10 and could not detect my USB external memory stick. Device Manager indicated for ASMedia USB Root Hub, that "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" . My DriverMax program indicated that the driver is up to date and I have spent the past week back and forth with DriverMax for a solution. DriverMax finally told me that there is no update for the driver, so I searched for a driver update and came across this site.
Downloaded and installed the latest ASMedia drivers listed above and it works. Just want to say thanks for posting the driver.

 

I have actually found it via Driver Easy Free, it is the best driver updater I know.
