Audio I/O Connections - Asus MAXIMUS IX FORMULA Manual

• Due to USB 3.0 controller limitation, USB 3.0 devices can only be used under
Windows
• USB 3.0 devices can only be used as data storage only.
• We strongly recommend that you connect USB 3.0 devices to USB 3.0 ports for faster
and better performance for your USB 3.0 devices.
• Due to the design of the Intel chipset, all USB devices connected to the USB 2.0 and
USB 3.0 ports are controlled by the xHCI controller. Some legacy USB devices must
update their firmware for better compatibility.
• When KeyBot II is activated, USB hot plug function of the KeyBot port (USB 3.0 port 5)
will be temporarily disabled.
