So... I got this board a while ago to replace a ASRock X99 board and it's been great but there's just been one little quirk that has bugged the crap out of me and it's become even more evident as of late.
The first time I encountered this issue was after installing windows and trying to boot. Everything went well. I started to plug in my USB peripherals and found that it would not boot. After pulling my hair for a while I figured out that it had to be one of the USB peripherals. After some testing, I figured out that it was my Audio Technica AT2020 mic. Once I unplugged this, it would boot up just fine. Now, every time I reboot, I just have to make sure to unplug this and then plug it back in once I'm in windows.
Well... fast forward a few months and I've decided that I want to do crossfire since I've had a R290 sitting here forever. However, I have an Asus Xonar sound card in my PCI-E 1x slot and I had to uninstall it and moved over to external USB sound card and got a soundblaster omni.
And guess what? This stupid sound card is doing the same thing. It's preventing windows from booting and what's worse is that it completely prevents me from booting into windows until I unplug all my USB devices (besides keyboard and mouse).
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this? Is this a BIOS setting issue? I just don't understand...
Thanks!
