Question DAC broke my USB ports

[Voelepater]

Hi,

Two of my USB ports are no longer working after I used them to connect the DAC from my SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless headset. They worked just fine for weeks, but then out of nowhere the power to all USB's seems to cut and all my USB devices stop working for like 5 seconds. This happened twice now, as I figured it was bad luck the first time.

After that my headset didn't connect again to the DAC so I tried to plug in my keyboard to the port the DAC was connect to. The keyboard didn't work using this port, nor does my mouse.

The DAC's screen is still powered when I plug it into the broken USB port, but my headset will not connect properly with my PC now. I've already had 2 ports break like this now.
What can I do to try and fix the ports? Restarting my PC doesn't help.

I've resolved the problem. It appears it was another device that I didn't know was still plugged in which caused the issues. As I plugged every USB device out and only left the DAC in all of a sudden the headset connected to the DAC and audio started playing. It works. Sorry for wasting your time.
