I am having this issue as well with an Alienware15 R3… and I thought I wouldn’t have any problem by getting the best available… sigh.
So I got in contact with A&H and they blame Intel so I have opened a ticket with intel 2 days ago and haven’t heard of them yet, the chat support guy wasn’t really helpful but he listened and escalated my question… I asked follow up question to A&H support and got no answers too…
How big is the user base affected by this issue? I’m surprise there is not much of an uproar in the community about this. That’s a lot of money invested to have a product you can’t trust.
Do we have legal recourse against manufacturer who don’t respect their standards and break hardware usability ?
If only I could buy a thunderbolt to USB2.0 hub but that doesn’t exist… maybe if I can find one that doesn’t use intel chipset but is it even possible ?
What are the chipset which people had success with?
