USB device not recognized (Code 43)

**ChazTheGeek** · 16-02-2014, 07:24 PM

Hi again,

I have just recently begun experiencing an issue where an unknown USB device appears and it fails to install correctly. I'm not inserting any removable storage, new USB devices or anything. It randomly appears. It will keep ejecting itself and "inserting" making "bling blong" noises all the time. Sometimes it will stop for a while then return. It is very annoying and distracting. It will even happen with no USB devices plugged in. I have been searching the internet for a fix but with no success. I have tried unplugging the main power cord from the PC and leaving it for about a minute, updating the BIOS, re-installing USB drivers and unplugging all my devices then plugging them in again. All I know is this is where it is: Port_#0005.Hub_#0003 and the error (code 43).
My chipset is also up to date. I ran windows update also with no results relating to my problem.

Any suggestions to fixing the problem would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Click on details tab select hardware ids. Copy and paste some of the lines here. We'll see what it is / what it belongs to

Hi Speedy,

USB\UNKNOWN

That's all I could find. It's quite mysterious.

I would try disabling that device in Device Manager. Alternatively wait for a more sensible suggestion from one of the more expert members.

I've tried that, but thanks all the same.

Want me to have a look with teamviewer?? Is it a laptop or desktop?

**ChazTheGeek** · 16-02-2014, 07:37 PM

Yes please. It's a desktop. The one in my sig.

May be something wrong with the USB controller itself

I found one site which had an identical prob. And the same errors this PC had. But this had something to do with a kinect camera or mic array. Which Chaz doesn't have.

The other thing, was there were tasks to run autorun from D. Altho there was nothing in D (D maybe referring to the virtual CD. I don't know). But, I have no idea WHAT added the task in the first place. May have to disable them in ccleaner for now

And something had added itself to lowerfilters_1 (which usually doesnt exist, it's lowerfilters). in the registry. Probably something belong to sonic. Or some burning program. I deleted it and rename lowerfilters_1 (deleted the _1).
