No, I am sorry but that’s not true: USB 3 is NOT completely downcompatibel to USB 2. That’s the reason for all this problems. There are differences in handling audio-streams! Only true USB2 ports work without problems (like in my old Lenovo TP 410, it does not depend on the operating system, but on the USB-architecture). It depends on the motherboards. There are differences between older pc’s with purely USB2 archtecture or both, real USB2 AND USB3 ports and newer ones with pseudo-USB2 ports, but purely USB3 architecture, with only pseudo-downcompatibility to USB2. In common applications you will not find a difference or problems, but in the special way, how A&H-Boards manage audiostreaming via USB, it is necessarry to have true USB2 ports with the corresponding old USB2-architecture. So to find a solution, that it works with true USB3 mainboards also, is the reason, why this thread exists since 2 years or so… A&H cannot solve it, because they cannot change the complete audiostream handling on their old QU-series. So every note, wich could be a solution, can help… but there are more posts, which tried different cables, never it was a solution for everybody… so perhaps I will try this special printer-USB2-cable also… did order it via Amazon… 🙂
