I forget the issue I was having that I found this page and installed your version of the ASMedia drivers. But for some reason, upgrading to the newest drivers causes Windows to crash (bluescreen) upon login.
I have the previous archive still on my system: "pure ASMedia USB 3.0+3.1 Drivers v1.16.47.2 WHQL refreshed.rar"
And tried installing this one here: "pure ASMedia USB 3.0+3.1 Drivers v1.16.49.1 WHQL incl DPInst.rar"
Any idea what might be causing the crashing? Any extra steps I should be taking when upgrading?

EDIT: Motherboard is an Asus Maximus VIII Hero and also have an ORICO 2 Port USB3.1 PCI-E Adapter (PA31-2P) if that helps

But it's not a solution The fix that your method proposes does something in the backend that makes the computer search for devices over and over and over and produce this noise.

I installed this driver,
>"pure" 32bit Intel USB 3.0/3.1 Drivers v5.0.4.43 mod+signed by me (with DPInst option)< (>MIRROR<)

Which did wonders and fixed the transfer speed. After this I found out that the sound drives me nuts and tried to fix this by trying to install >Intel USB 3.0/3.1 Drivers & Software Set v5.0.4.43 WHQL for Win7< (>MIRROR<) overtop the modded drivers, which didn't change the USB sound and didn't alter the transfer speeds

How would I check this?

USB 3.0 extensible - 5.0.4.43
USB root hub - 5.0.4.43
PCI bus #1 - 6.1.7601.17514
PCI bus #2 - 5.0.4.43

I just tried that out of my own curiosity and it didn't do anything :P

It was uninstalled and then it installed itself, but for the time that it was uninstalled it still made the same noise

When I uninstall the other one my graphics driver stops and I cannot move the mouse and keyboard, and then once it reinstalls itself I still hear the noise, haha, what a pain in the ass eh?
