Title: No charging from usb ports (GA-Z170x-Gaming 3)

I don't know what else to do. I don't see any options in the bios related to powering the usb ports (front or back, latest F6 bios). I've installed ON-OFF charging from the gigabyte website in windows 10 for intel 100 series, but where that app or setting goes, I have no idea. My phone connected says its getting 500,000 mA from every port, but from the wall says 1,000,000 mA. My speakers are powered by usb and having to unplug them and carry them across the room is getting old. Any help would be really appreciated.

What I found thus far...  mostly marketing hype

 *With a simple On/Off Charge driver update, GIGABYTE motherboard users are able to take full advantage of USB charging of their iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, giving them more options and convenience when recharging their new device.
   
 * Due to certain mobile phone limitations, users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC 
  enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non ON/OFF Charge USB ports.

* Maximum 3 devices can be charged at the same time. Charging current may vary with PSU 5V stand-by spec.
   
On/Off Charge driver download   
When you install the ON/OFF charge driver, please update the latest BIOS version for the best product efficiency.

What device are you charging?  Release notes I found state - (Note) Support iPhone/iPad/iPod touch devices with iOS 6.x, 7.x, 8.x. 

I don't use the feature, so am not sure what the requirements are or how many mA you get, but it may depend on your PSU.  I'll keep looking.
