USBECHI error. USB devices cutting out

Hi guys,
I am having a severe problem with my computer which happened ever since I installed my new motherboard: MSI 970A-G46
This is the error in event viewer:
"A timeout occurred while waiting for the EHCI host controller Interrupt on Async Advance Doorbell response."
I have updated bios to latest, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. And it still seems to happen, randomly at that.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

Yea, it sounds "severe" as I have no such device listed at all (EHCI host controller) in my G46-970a system... I think you might have the syntax wrong. or quite possibly your OS is looking for a network device no longer in your network. Do you by any chance have a 3rd-party USB card installed? Doesn't sound like it, but then, there's no EHCI controller, either. "Timeouts" generally occur across a network or the Internet--so it would appear your OS is attempting to query an "EHCI controller" and getting no response, and simply letting you know about it. "async Advance Doorbell response" sounds kind of kinky--like maybe your installation is looking for some kind of network burglar alarm system, or something...! You said you reinstalled Windows, and if so, then you are running some sort of strange network software that is looking for a device it cannot find--or, heck, maybe you've simply picked up a virus--some of those virus guys have a sense of humor every now and then--like "Doorbell response," that may be an example. Install MSE AV/malware software and scan all your drives just to eliminate that.
Also, your post lacks much in the way of critical information that would assist people in helping you--list of components, OS version, clocks, networks, etc. I'm just taking potshots here. I can say with authority, though, that the message you're getting has nothing to do with your G46-970a. After you scan for viruses and malware, I'd advise you to format c:\ and then reinstall Windows from scratch. (You should do this with any motherboard changeout as a matter of course.) Good luck!

USB Microphone cuts out all sound

I'm using Logic Express 8, with an MXL condenser microphone. At first everything worked fine. I could hear all the audio.
But now, when I plug in the microphone, it cuts off all sound. The computer is receiving an audio signal. Under preferences, USB Audio Codec is chosen.
I created an aggregate devise, but that didn't work. I chose the new aggregate devise in audio preferences. No luck.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Michael

I do not have your exact computer model or sound driver, but I can tell you what I did that fixed my microphone issues almost instantly for my G780!
My microphone also cut out during voip calls (such as Skype, G+ hangouts, etc) but my audio when using any type of recording software was fine!
So apparently for my laptop, there was a bit of additional software that was installed called Smart Audio which is also by Coaxant.
If you have this program, this is probably what is causing all the sporadic quality changes.
What I did:
-Open Smart Audio (it's not actually an installed program, it is a setting so I just searched for it in the start menu)
-Go over to the VOIP tab on the bottom, and click on Voice Over IP to DISABLE the features.
-The icon for the setting should now be disabled, along with microphone noise reduction and acoustic echo cancellation.
These settings in smart audio were the ones making my microphone sound so horrible. As soon as I disabled it, people on the other side of the chat immediately noticed a dramatic increase in overall quality!
Hope this helps!

Help - Error Message - Device time out

I'm still trying to connect my ipod to my new PC but am having no joy.
I install itunes and it asks to reboot so I disconnect the ipo and reboot. I open itunes and connect the ipod.
After a fwew minutes I get the following error
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Device Timeout
The specified I/O operation on \Device\Harddisk1\DR2 was not completed before time-out period expired.
Cancel Try Again Continue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Please help.
Kind Regards
Alan

hi alan!
The specified I/O operation on \Device\Harddisk1\DR2 was not completed before time-out period expired.
I usually associate that one with a dodgy USB 2.0 connection. if you plug the ipod in to a different port, or use a different cable, will the synch go through properly?
keep us posted.

USB Mic cutting out

Well, here's my problem. I play WoW (World of Warcraft) and my guild uses ventrilo (speex codec and it works fine). I use a plantronics usb headset which is great, but every once in a while my computer will lock up (sometimes just for 5 seconds, sometimes I'm forced to hold down the power button and restart). The problem, aside from the lockup, is that if it is just a temporary stall, all sound stops and my guildmates cannot hear me speak, but I can hear them. I've made sure the mic isn't muted, I've restarted ventrilo and nothing seems to work. The only thing that solves the issue is restarting my computer (I don't think I need to mention how inconvenient that is).
If anyone knows a way to fix this problem please let me know. I'm not sure what causes the freeze, but when it happens I stop all actions and restart. A faster solution would be so nice.
cheers

B500 USB Device not recognized error at startup + sound issue Dissapointed

Hello,
We have 2 B500,
whenever i start them, after windows load they are giving me an error, "USB device not recognized" I am not sure what to do any help will be greatly appreciated as this is strange that both the machines are giving the same error,
also on one of the machines the sound does not come work, i have tried to trouble shoot, the diagnosis says speakers are working fine, but sound does not come out at all.
I am kind of dissapointed with these issues, we always use to buy from Dell but we thought we would give Lenovo a chance, the machines were barely a couple of months old when the issue started,
any advice please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well being that it is the same PC as the other I am sure the speakers are plugged into the correct spot. Have you checked the speakers with other devices to make sure the speaker is fine? Since the other PC's drivers are working, you can use DRIVERMAX to pull the sound driver from the good PC and also use DRIVERMAX to install the driver you pulled from the good one. Just uninstall the sound drivers from the bad PC first before installing the new driver.

8g touch updated 4.2.1, problems synching apps and music. gives multiple errors; device times out, internal device errors, network times out, duplicate file, too many files open. itunes diagnostics ok. what to do?

have an 8g ipod touch which has had problems trying to play games and downloading update 4.2.1. went to the apple store who kindly downloaded the software update but now can't synch and generates multiple error messages; device times out, internal device error, network times out, duplicate file and too many files open etc etc. have latest i tunes download and diagnostic test ok. what can i do?

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

USB device not recognized for iphone

My iphone 4S had an issue and was sent away for repair and in the end it was replaced. I backed all my Apps up to ITunes before sending it away.
I tried plugging my new Iphone into my laptop and it comes up with the error "USB device not recognized", although it worked fine before I sent the phone away.
I went to my device manager and found the device, however it says Unknown device and when I try to update it is says that this is the most up to date version.
I uninstalled ITunes and reinstalled it which made no difference. ITunes also does not find the phone.
I also removed all the Apple programs on my laptop and then tried to connect the phone again but this made no difference.
I have restarted the laptop and this also made no difference.
I called the Apple help line and they can not work it out and suggest I take the phone back to the shop to be checked.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

DId you uninstall iTunes and all it's components? Or just the iTunes program? Apple Mobile Device would be the main cause more than likely. So it is important whether you uninstalled all the programs or just iTunes. If so what I would try next is putting the device into recovery mode and seeing if it detects it like that.

USB Device Not Recognized

Operating system: Windows Vista
Error: USB Device not recognized
While actively on the computer, we suddenly got a message stating that the USB Device was not recognized. The only thing plugged in to the USB port was a mouse. Tried all the ports, same message. Tried another mouse, same thing. Tried a thumb drive, and low and behold, 2 of the 3 USB ports worked. Tried a URL from MS which is supposed to help with this exact problem and possibly fix it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Tips-for-solving-problems-with-USB-devices
This didn't work.
Contacted HP support and they wanted me to restore back to a restore point as well as updating my BIOS. After searching the issue more extensively using Google, I found that several people said to do this:
Shut down the computer
Remove the power plug
Remove the battery
Put the battery back in
Power up the computer (without the power plug)
This forces a hard reset.
Almost as if by magic, the problem disappeared. A much simpler and less technical solution to the problem than what HP recommended!!!!

I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

USB Device Not Recognized when Iphone connected to PC

Hello,
Every time I connect my Iphone 4S to my PC I get the error "USB Device Not Recognized". I did not have this problem before. I tried uninstalling Itunes and all its components and reninstalling it, restaring my computer, restarting Iphone and I even reset all the setting on my Iphone. I connected my wife's Iphone 4 using the same cable and PC and connected and started syncing with Itunes right away. If anyone has any pointers on how to fix this problem, any help will be much appreciated.

try reseting the phone
RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

TS1538 iphone 4s USB device not recognized

I've not had any issues until now. I'm on a 64bit Windows 7 PC. Iphone 4s. Recently transfered pictures from the phone to the pc. After that time it will not recognize the iphone at all. I get the error "USB device not recognized." I followed the article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 but it's still not working. I have done a soft reset on the phone and a hard reset, no dice. The phone connects fine to any other computer except this one. I have also attempted to delete all device drivers and reinstalled them to no avail. Please help!

Hi and thanks for replying.
Yeah I have gone through that help article and unfortunately nothings worked. It just seems odd that the computer would recognise it in some way but not properly, which made me think it might be to do with software rather than hardware, but I see your point in that it probably is a hardware issue. I would have liked to get a newer one however I am already in a contract which I don't have the money to cancel and I managed to get the 2g very cheap. It would be fantastic if I could get this one going!
Thanks a lot

New iPad Air can't connect to iTunes; device "times out"; no error code given

my iMac (8 months old) is running 10.8.5 with latest version of iTunes. When I try to connect my new iPaid Air with a cable, iTunes open, after a few seconds, a windows appears saying "iTunes cannot connect to the device named Peggy's iPad because device timed out". no error code is given. I have restarted my computer and the iPad various times and tried different USB ports on the iMac. I am using the original lightning cable that came with the iPad to connect. I didn't have this problem with my old iPad 2 or with my iPod touch. I do not have any security software installed and no firewalls, etc. Any suggestions on what is causing this problem? Thanks.

You should repost this over in the "using iPad" forum. The iPad gurus hang out there. This is the MacBook Air forum. Here is the link:

TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

Hello!
I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
I could really use some help solving this.
I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
Help a brother out, will you???

Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
- Turn off computer.
- Plug Shuffle into usb.
- Then you must reset your shuffle
To reset iPod shuffle:
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
- Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
- Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
Stop it and select "apple ipod".
