I have a plantronics gamecom 780 headset, and since about a week ago its started to completely stop working whenever i have sound playing of any kind, and the only way to fix it is to take it out of the USB port, and plug it back in. The time it takes for it to disconnect is random with sounds playing in the browser (usually ranging from 0-20 minutes), but it usually disconnects in an instant whenever i'm starting a skype call, or just have skype open, but still does it with skype uninstalled and closed. Same happens when playing games. 

 

I've already re-installed windows7 (64bit) and before and after re-installed all my drivers (Most of them anyways, could have missed one). And that still didn't fix it. I've also tried turning off the USB Selective suspend option, wich still did not work.

 

Another thing is that a while back, whenever i would to plug my headset into another USB port than its normal one, it would to constantly disconnect and reconnect every second, i don't know if it could be related, but yeah. (Also i've tried running it on my friends laptop and it worked fine, so i'm pretty sure its not the headset itself).

 

If anyone knows a fix for this then please tell me! Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! ^-^

Nevermind guys! After doing a little searching i found the solution! If anyone else here is having the same problem, then here is what you do!

 

  1. Click ?Start?, type ?Device Manager? and press enter.
  2. In ?Device Manager?, click plus sign next to ?Universal Serial Bus Controller?.
  3. Right click ?USB Root Hub?, and click ?Properties?.
  4. In the ?USB Root Hub Properties? window, click ?Power Management? tab, uncheck the box for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
  5. Repeat this for all the ?USB Root Hubs? and restart the system.
  6. And if that doesn't work, try uninstalling the USB Root Hubs, but not the drivers!

 

Hope this helped anyone with the same issue! <3

Click Start?, type Device Manager and press enter.

In Device Manager click plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controller

Right click USB Root Hub, and click Properties.

In the USB Root Hub Properties window, click Power Management tab, uncheck the box for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

Repeat this for all the USB Root Hubs and restart the system.

And if that doesn't work, try uninstalling the USB Root Hubs, but not the drivers!

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
