can't install Asmedia usb 3.0 driver/USB 3.0 Host Controller not found

[clashradio]

I'm having multiple issues that must be related. Trying to get the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle to work.

I have an Asus motherboard P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 USB 3.0. Windows 7/64.

Shuttle instructions say to update the NEC/Renesas usb 3.0 host controller " if your computer has the NEC chip then this utility will already be installed etc". It was not on my computer. After installation I get an error message "USB 3.0 Host Controller not found".

I tried to install the 3.0 driver from my motherboard dvd rom, and could not select Asmedia 3.0 from the disc.

I've read as much as I can on this issue and still can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

since your board doesn't have a NEC/renesas usb chip you shouldn't have tried to install the update driver. i'd try going to computer/properties/device manager and uninstall all "universal serial bus controllers", then reboot and allow windows to re-install the proper drivers.

Do I uninstall the USB 3.0 Host Controller Utility also?

I tried in unstalling the bus controllers, and it's a matter of time before I get to the mouse usb and it locks up. I got about five deleted.

uninstall the controllers, not the usb devices

[clashradio]

Duh, sorry about that. Ok, I uninstalled the controllers, no change. It seems the Shuttle is picky on which chip set is used. Since the instructions say to make sure the Renesas is installed, does that mean my motherboard 3.0 chip set won't work with the Shuttle?

did you try the windows 7 compatibility mode option ??

[aedipuss]

i'd go directly to blackmagic support. all i remember is that when it first came out it worked with just about nothing. by now you'd think they'd have it working ok.

did you try the windows 7 compatibility mode option ??

The mode was set to XP, so I changed it to Windows 7. Still can only capture audio, no video. And when using any HD setting, no audio..

I bought this thing back in '12, couldn't get it to work then. But now I really want to transfer some laserdiscs to be used along with BD footage so I'd like to capture more than dv avi.

Seems I have a little better luck trying to capture with Vegas vs. Black magic Media Express. Although in Vegas I have DV, or HDV/SDI options. I get about 3 seconds of preview video using HDV/SDI. It's hit and miss using Media Express so far.

I do want to add that the capture program within Vegas (Sony Video Capture) says the OS is XP, yet Vegas itself lists my OP as Win 7/64. There doesn't seem to be a way to update SVC (it comes attached with Vegas). But even Media Express isn't working which has nothing to do with Vegas.

do your usb 3.0 ports still work with other devices ?? you might go into the bios settings and try
resetting the bios to factory default settings - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/usb-3-host-contro...47b5677?auth=1

The Blackmagic is my only 3.0 device I have. I'll try going in the BIOS mode. That area is a little tricky for me. I'll report back later lol

I tried to install the 3.0 driver from my motherboard dvd rom

I don't know how old that dvd-rom is, but did you try the latest driver from your mobo's support site?
A quick peek says "Asmedia USB3.0 Controller Driver V1.14.1.0".

I just checked my driver; it does have V1.14.1.0, but it says the date is May 2012. There hasn't been an update in five years?

Ok, I was hesitant, but in the bios Advanced mode, in the Advanced tab I see:

Legacy USB Support : enabled
Legacy USB3.0 Support: enabled
EHCI Hand-off: disabled

I don't see anywhere to reset the driver?

look for a reset default settings option - select yes and restart your computer.
you can also remove the little button cell battery that is on the motherboard ( turn computer off before removing)
wait a few minutes, reinstall battery, then turn on computer and that should reset the bios to factory default settings.

I found the "asmedia usb 3.0 controller option (missed it the first time). I only have two options; enable and disable.

Other options to the right of that screen are:
-change opt
-gen help
-previous values
-optimize defaults

I'll try that battery trick. I did switch the PCI Express from "auto" to X4. X4 says it was a more powerful option.

[clashradio]

Ok, removed/reinstalled battery. Blackmagic still doesn't work. I didn't see a "default" option other than the options listed in the post above. But when I turned on the computer after battery re-install it prompted me to go in the bios mode. I did select "save changes and restart".

The blackmagic is extremely picky hardware, you have an Asus motherboard, and you don't know what you are doing. That is an very bad combination.

BIOS default settings almost certainly not needed, likely a waste of time, and may actually have caused a problem. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH BIOS SETTING CHANGES, DO *NOT* REPEAT *NOT* MESS WITH THEM.

Installing NEC chipset drivers will ONLY work if you have an NEC or NEC-compatible chipset. THIS IS THE FIRST FREAKING THING YOU SHOULD HAVE VERIFIED.

Since you do not appear to have an NEC or NEC-Compatible chipset, you have wasted a lot of time, effort, and energy getting absolutely nothing done, and actually making your system less functional.

First, in order to undo the screwup, go to asus site and download the latest drivers for your existing chipset. Take the disk that came with the mobo and use it for a coaster, it is otherwise useless. FYI, I NEVER recommend Asus to ANYONE. Unstable tweaker crap, IMO.

Next, check the blackmagic site and look for compatible hardware, which means parts that will actually work with it. Likely need an add-on USB card.

Or, you could just go out and buy four or five USB cards at random, hope you luck out and get the correct drivers installed, and see if any of those work.

[clashradio]

I called tech support for both Blackmagic and Asus. Downloaded the newest bios, chipset, drivers. Shuttle now works. You are correct Nelson37, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm a decent video editor, but fairly green on programming issues. I do feel like a dumbass but I guess that's why forums like these are around. Thanks everyone for your help.
