    Anyone have any problems with certain USB devices?

    One of the uses for my M14x is for my music DJ Software/Hardware. I hooked up the soundcard to one of the USB ports on the right side, installed the software. M14x wouldn't recognize the device. I looked at everything for about a 1/2 hour. I tired the USB port on the left side and it worked without a hitch. Even now the only port that it works on is the USB port on the left side. Regular USB flash drives work fine with the USB 3.0 ports on the right side.

    I'm concerned because when I get home tonight I have to hook up another component (from the same manufacturer as the soundcard) and I have no choice but to use the USB ports on the right hand side. Fingers crossed.

    Is there any type of "Legacy Support" option in the BIOS? I'm thinking that I shouldn't have had an issue. The Soundcard is a 2010 product.

    Thanks
