[QUOTE="vindal, post: 2370757, member: 83425"] Hello folks! This is my first post on TE and its about a weird issue. My specs (PC)- Processor- Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard- MSI B450M Pro VDH MAX OS- Win 10 Pro GPU- RTX 2070 Last year I had picked up a HiFiMan HE-4XX from sstiwari and have been using it for playing Valorant on my laptop (I use them with the iBasso DC03 DAC and the results are phenomenal!). I wanted to have the same experience on my PC which, unfortunately enough, doesn't have a C type port. To get around that issue I bought a cheap USB2.0 to C adaptor. It worked on my laptop but for reasons unknown to me, it refused to work with my PC. After a lot of digging I came across a blog which said MSI has some USB issues [URL='https://support.punchtechnology.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/360009569977-USB-Issues-with-some-MSI-motherboards-and-some-USB-card-readers']link[/URL]. This brings me to the second (and the main) part of the issue. One of the fixes that I had tried was to update my BIOS. I hadn't updated the bios ever. So I updated it to the latest one available on MSI's website (7A38vBF1(Beta version)).
