Question who manufactures my universal serial bus controller

[hamoo]

asrock, fata1ity b450 itx/ac. literature says it has usb 3.1, but does not specify manufacturer. this is the thing: i can not get win 7 to recognize the usb controller. several online threads suggest making sure power management does not 'turn off' the device. it can not be turned off because it is 'not recognized'. now, it is entirely possible that whoever made this hardware did not also make a win 7 driver, but this has not been verified

p.s.

i did not choose to stick this post under "cpu". i have no idea how tom's decided this for me, and didn't give me the option to put it somewhere more apropos

Did you install all the drivers from the motherboard's support page? I see there's something called "Windows 7 USB Patcher ".

I'm going to say AMD since USB ports are provided by both the CPU and the B450 chipset.

Please do note that Windows7 does not support modern computing platforms so installation isn't so straight-forward as Windows10.

You'll have to look into the usb controller in the Device Manager, but it will say who the manufacturer is, it'll be ASmedia or Renasus or Intel etc. This might be some help.

The USB controller is part of the chipset, which is made by AMD. If you look under your device ID under the Device Manager, it will start with 1022, which are identifier numbers AMD uses for system devices. Windows 7 is an older OS and after some looking does not recognize USB 3.1 controllers without updates. AMD has a chipset driver for 64 bit Windows 7 here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b450

Definitely provided by the B450 chipset:
