@BlackOne - if there is a USB-compatibility it's  usually deeply rooted in the motherboard/BIOS way beyond anything Vive (or really any one single company) can externally influence too deeply. It relates to how the OEM is building their motherboards and programing their BIOS . Gigabyte is a reputable brand and I'm simply not very aware of any specifics to those motherboards as I haven't seen alot of Gigabyte customers with issues. I've seen the most issues with Asus boards due to their ASmedia USB technologies.

If you truley think it's USB-controller related. The best thing to do is to purchase this specific USB card: . This brand is recommended by Valve for SteamVR devices: Inateck Express Cards. It's one of those situations where if it works - it will save you from hours of fruitless debugging the cost of ~$20 and a spare PCI-e port.

I cant buy this card from Russia.

Hello. I guess I have a same problem. I have a Gigabyte X570 UD Mobo AMD Ryzen 9 and RTX 2080 Super Video card. All is fine with video card. But the USB 3.0 is not working for Vive ONLY. Detection of connection is failing in setup program and I cant use it. First I think about what communication module is damaged. But my son computer say it's not. Working perfectly on older mobo with older chipset. Now only one way to use it on X570 is use Discrete PCIe USB 3.X controllers. I think that developers should solve this problem as quickly as possible. And sorry for my English.
