[SOLVED] Wired controller flashing when using USB hub.

[walshi]

Hi all,

When I connect my wired game controller (Xbox type) via a USB hub, the green ring light on controller continually flashes a solid green ring.
However, if I plug it directly into a USB socket it stops flashing with just the top right segment lit as normal.
When the light is flashing it still appears to work as normal but it's disctracting and annoying!
I've tried different controllers with same result. I've also tried the hub and controller on a different PC and it's fine. Therefore it seems to be an issue with my PC?

Any ideas ??

See what the full green flashing ring means. vs the other way. That will give you a clue as to what it's doing differently. Did you try using the hub on another USB port?

Yes tried hub on different ports, no difference. I think the solid green flashing means not connected? However it does still work - Just flashes!

Fixed. Simply replaced the hub with a powered model and all now OK.
