GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 - how to switch USB power off?
« on: February 08, 2015, 11:46:12 am »
Hi

Im using Audiobox USB as my external "soundcard". OnBoard audio is switched off.

Audiobox needs to be connected to USB port which will not supply any power when PC is powered down (as per http://support.presonus.com/entries/59003214-I-have-to-unplug-and-replug-my-AudioBox-USB-to-get-it-work-on-Windows-7-or-Windows-8

How do I do this? I did select "EuP or ErP" (forgot the exact name) option in BIOS but my interface is still getting power when PC is switched off.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Ahh it works! Had to connect it to yellow usb ports and restart my machine couple of times. So it was the EuP/ErP option in BIOS after all.
