Dell Asmedia Usb 31 Extensible Host Controller Driver

  

(P.S. Sorry to the mods who keep having to approve this post, I'm updating so that everyone can have the most information available about this problem)

If you have a usb 3.0 expansion card connected to the motherboard slot then you might need to install driver supplied by the usb 3.0 expansion card manufacturer. Download the ASMedia USB 3.0 driver from Microsoft Update Catalog link below. ASMedia USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller driver. Dell Precision 5510 Network Dropping Issue. Does that mean that the Intel USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller and Hub Driver you recommend also work on Win10. I assume the Windows 7 USB 3.1 drivers Dell is handing out on the Precision 5510 support page are bogus. Specific location of problem hub: ASMedia USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft). Please advise. If this is a regedit fix, please help with specifics. Dell Inspiron 15HR-1828T. Gigabyte Brix. Table 4: USB 3.1 Supported xHCI Adapter and Driver Configurations. Not yet supported. Etron or Point Grey. Intel USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller. The package provides the installation files for ASMedia USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller Driver version 1.16.36.1. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version.

I actually managed to fix this issue 30 minutes after posting here. You guys must be good luck, I've spent a good three weeks with this issue, and probably a good 24+ hours straight trying to fix this. From seeing everyone else having this problem, and finding out as well that it works on Windows 10, I knew it had to be a driver problem. Specifically with either the USB 3.1 Extensible Host Controller/Hub or the Realtek USB Ethernet driver itself.

Existing installers can probably fix this just by updating the USB 3.1 Controller/Hub and Realtek drivers here (and just replace the existing ones from Dell Support):

Edit: Seeing my also improved audio on the WD15 Dock, this Ethernet issue may ONLY be caused by faulty USB 3.1 Extensible Host Controller/Hub driver being handed out on the 5510 support page. I would start with the link immediately below and see if that resolves everything.

Intel USB 3.1 Extensible Host Controller/Hub Driver:

Realtek USB Gigabit Ethernet Driver:

Here's full build instructions (for me, I have the Precision 5510 and left the Ethernet dongle plugged in the entire time):

Dell Asmedia Usb 31 Extensible Host Controller Driver Windows 10

  1. I patched the boot.wim and install.wim to include USB 3 drivers with Dism.exe
  2. Formatted USB drive FAT32.... (required for UEFI) and marked active
  3. Copied Windows 7 install to USB
  4. Renamed bootmgfw.efi (from install.wim) to bootx64.efi and placed in USB installer: /efi/boot (so drive will boot UEFI)
  5. Installed Windows 7 Pro on Samsung 950 NVMe SSD (After browsing USB for Samsung NVMe drivers I found on internet)
  6. Flashed Bios (previously)
  7. Install MS .NET 4.0 and 4.5.
  8. Install Chipset
  9. Install USB 3.0 Controller/Hub
  10. Install USB 3.1 Controller/Hub FROM LINK ABOVE, DO NOT USE DELL 5510 SUPPORT
  11. After restarting, I started getting a phantom CD Drive, which I had never seen before in any of my other installs, with Realtek Gigabit USB drivers, which I copied but did not use. (Drive went away after Ethernet Driver install)
  12. Followed order from Dell Dock support: http://www.dell.com/Support/Article/us/en/19/SLN301075
  13. Install Thunderbolt Controller (Must do before Firmware)
  14. Install Thunderbolt Firmware (Do this even if you've done it before, it installed some driver too)
  15. Dell says: Restart
  16. Install Intel Graphics
  17. Install ASMedia Thunderbolt USB Controller/Firmware (I did NOT do this, as I do not have a Thunderbolt Dock, I have the WD15 Dock)
  18. Dell says: Restart
  19. Install Realtek USB Gigabit driver FROM LINK ABOVE, DO NOT USE DELL 5510 SUPPORT
  20. Restart to detect USB-C Ethernet dongle
  21. Install USB Audio for Dell Dock

At this point you can test your Ethernet, even with the 6-10 missing drivers, I had stable Ethernet. I was doing a local transfer to test and could crash it in less than a minute. With the drivers from Realtek and from the random Dell Support page, I downloaded 170 GB (~45 minutes I believe) from on laptop to the other, successfully! I was getting anywhere from 70-100mbps, but I was maxing out my HD on old computer.

Asmedia

I've also been running the WD15 dock, and its very solid now. Tested Ethernet with a local 90 GB transfer @ 80mbps. I am also running a extended display 32' monitor from the dock at 2560x1440 via Mini-DP. Ethernet is working great now. Also I was having even more problems with the audio on the dock, those issues are gone too. I assume the Windows 7 USB 3.1 drivers Dell is handing out on the Precision 5510 support page are bogus.

Dell Asmedia Usb 31 Extensible Host Controller Driver Windows 7

When I click on Subject in the Device Manager and check to see if there are updated drivers, Windows goes to the Internet and attempts to install the driver but always has a time-out and the update fails. It recommends I go to the owner of the product and get the update there. My driver update program states the driver is out of date too but cannot install it and times out. It states the update is WHQL. I went to the driver update site at ASUS for my Maximus IX Hero motherboard and cannot find anything regarding subject. Does anyone know where I can go to download the latest version? Probably do not need to update the driver but thought I would ask since an older version is now installed. Thanks for any assistance.
