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

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
