9nda3+ back panel USB issues

[arswihart]

Anyone have trouble using all four back panel USB ports on their 9nda3+?

The lower USB ports on mine don't work too well and are basically useless (disconnect randomly, don't see connected devices after reboot). I'm not sure though if it is the lower two in particular, I think It may just be using more than two of the ports that causes problems. I haven't done enough testing.

But again, if anyone is using all 4 (or at least 3) of the back panel USB ports simultaneously without dropped connections or other issues, please post here and let me know. I have only heard of one other person on AOAforums having similar problems with the back panel USB ports.

Wags - I love this motherboard too, except for this annoying issue that has forced me to plug some of my USB devices into my front panel ports. I usually like those ports to be for temporary use only, but now they are doing full duty. BTW, the extra USB headers which are feeding my front ports seem to work perfectly, although I haven't tried using more than 2 of them at once.

Could you please try using 3 or 4 back panel ports at a time, then reboot and see if all devices are still connected, and try to be sure they are really working and don't need to be unplugged and reinserted to restore the connection. Thanks a lot for your help.
