USB question

o_unburdened · 08-17-2005, 03:47 AM

I bought a usb headset and when i plug them in it doesn't do anything at all. I get no windows hardware windows, nor does the headset produce sound. thinking it was the headset itself i decided to plug in my mouse, yet again not working. So after finding out that neither of my two usb ports work, i was curious if there is some sort of program that can scan my usb ports to see if they are functional. The headset is the logitech premiem usb 350, they didn't come w/ drivers nor do the logitech website offer them. Also i'm running on windows XP professional (if anyone was interested).

Make sure the USB ports are enabled in the BIOS. Then make sure you've installed your motherboard's chipset drivers correctly. Then, follow the installation instructions that came with your headset. You'll probably need a driver to use the mic, once you get the ports working.

alright i went into my bios and only say two usb things, and both were enabled.

how do i find out what drivers i need for my mobo?

edit: are they bios drivers? i never installed mobo drivers before, and the usb use to work awhile back(yr or less ago) and now they don't :>

Did you try another port?
I had a funny problem were I couldn't get my digital camera to sinc with this computer. I tried running it through a powered USB hub, no luck. I tried going online and installing the drivers, no luck

So I plugged it into the port which my mouse was plugged into and bingo, it worked.

Find out your motherboard make and model and then goto their website to find the drivers etc.

do the USB ports show up in your hardware manager?
(right click on my computer>properties>hardware[tab]>device manager)

-Universal Serial Bus controllers
-SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
-SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller
-USB Root Hub
-USB Root Hub

i know i have an ECS mobo, and i believe it's one of the K7SEM models (unsure if it's v1.0, or one of the others)

edit: I did find one thing that manage to read in my USB ports, it's my old Gravis GamePad Pro (model# 4211) except once i plug it in i get
