Hello,

coming from 5.0.0.32 Intel USB 3.x Drivers and updated to 5.0.1.38 yesterday.
1st Controller, 2nd Hub, 3rd PCI-Bus device.

Noticed that USB2.0-MTT-Hub and USB 3.0-Hub still got the 5.0.0.32 driver ... had to update it manually
Is there any device that I should check too?!



Greetings!

@Fernando
Thats correct before 5.xxx version.
Since 5.xx driver installation the two device hubs got the driver aswell by itself

All devices that uses the driver so far:

Asrock Z170 OCF

" 1.Make sure, that your mouse and keyboard is not connected to any Intel USB port." ???
How to fix that ?? I have a Logitech-mouse/keyboard on USB 2-port and can replace this with a "cable-mouse" ,which works also , but still have to use USB 2 , I think they are ALL Intel.
Only USB3.0\3.1 are Asmedia .

Any idea how to fix ?

" Maybe I will offer in the future 32/64bit DPINST.EXE files to let the installation been done automaticly "..............guess I have to wait for this option.
The risk of losing USB is too big ! ( no mouse/ CD-drives etc. is not pleasant )
Any sight on the speed we can make with this update , is it really faster then the MS-Controller ( Win10) ??

Another option ; will this Logitech-mouse/Windows cable-mouse also work on an USB 3.1-port , this is an Asmedia-driver. ??

Yes ! Good news , this means we can attach our Logitech-mouse on USB 3.1 ( not Intel, its Asmedia).
Will try the modded drivers , if it will give us more transfer-speed !
Its useless if its not an improvement, agree ?

Maybe I will offer in the future 32/64bit DPINST.EXE files to let the installation been done automaticly, but until now I don't know the technique how to create them. Furthermore I am not sure, whether the installation will work with any modded driver.

Hi Fernando,

Thank you for your persistent good job.
I have a question about the way the USB controllers are installed (by default) on my system.
My board has both Intel Z97 and ASmedia ASM1074 USB device controllers. What is puzzling me is that when I look in Device Manager (View by Connection) the Generic SuperSpeed USB Hub (that I can confirm is the USB 3.0 supplied by ASmedia) is under USB Root Hub (xHCI), which in turn is under Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft). All this in under PCI Express Root Complex.
So, it seems that it is the Intel USB 3.0 Host Controller that also controls the ASmedia USB ports. In fact, MSI never provided ASmedia USB drivers for this board.
Is it wise to install ASmedia USB drivers?


My System:
MB: MSI Z97 MPOWER
CPU: Intel i7 4790K
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

I don't believe that. Please check the HardwareIDs of the ASMedia USB 3.1 Controller from within the Device Manager (right-click onto the Controller and choose the options "Properties" > "Details" > "Property" > "HardwareIDs").

Yes, provided, that the HardwareIDs verify, that it is really an ASMedia USB Controller.

Sorry. I forgot to attach the Device Manager pictures in my last post. Here they are now.
My problem is that I don't understand why is the ASmedia USB 3.0 controller absent in my setup.

Looking at ASmedia web site, I found out that the ASmedia ASM1074 is a Device Controller not a Host Controller. Maybe this explains the situation. According to ASmedia the ASM1074 is a USB3.0 HUB controller Product (I stress the HUB). So, if I want to install the ASmedia driver, eventually the only thing needed is the Hub driver (i.e. asmthub3.inf).
Since the subject is not within the bounds of my technical knowledge, I appreciate some comments.

Here is bat-file text for automated installation of Intel USB3/3.1 drivers.

@echo off
 
dpinst.exe /path ".\Controller Driver - as first" /sa /q /f
 
dpinst.exe /path ".\Hub Driver - as second" /sa /q /sh
 
dpinst.exe /path ".\Switch Driver  - only if applicable" /sa /q /sh
 
shutdown -r -f -c "Rebooting after Intel USB3/3.1 drivers update"
 
 

It assumes that after archive with drivers is extracted to some folder that folder has following structure:

Controller Driver - as first
Hub Driver - as second
Switch Driver  - only if applicable
Win-RAID CA Certificate
dpinst.exe
update.bat
Update drivers.txt
 

where "dpinst.exe" is program for driver installation and "update.bat" is script specified above. User should launch command prompt (as Administrator), then change current directory to a folder where "dpinst.exe" lies and execute "update.bat".

Warning: I did not test it but I will troubleshoot if necessary...

Update: Biggest problem with dpinst.exe is that I failed to find its exit codes therefore bat-file above will reboot OS even if device drivers updates were failed.
