[SOLVED] Headset Crackling when connected to USB HUB

[quacky162]

When my Steelseries Arctis 5 is connected to my USB HUB, the audio crackles a lot. But when connected directly to my Lenovo Legion Y720 the auido is fine. Is this the fault of the USB Hub not being high quality? Or is this a thing with all USB Hubs?

My USB Hub is the UGREEN 3 USB port with Ethernet Jack USB Hub.


My Steelseries Rival 100 mouse and my epson printer and ethernet cable are the only things connected to the USB port, leaving 1 usb port vacant. the mouse works fine.

Yes the fault is probably with your hub. I use pluggable brand powered usb 3 hubs

I have many devices hooked up via USB including external hard drives, kb, mouse, WiFi and an excellent DAC. Everything works great

Agreed. Use a powered, good quality hub and you won't have any problems. I use an Anker 8 port and my DACs are flawless.
