[quote="sumsaykra-z":2b92rijl][quote="the_gael":2b92rijl]Is it possible that the machine will remember which was the first port the module was plugged into. I have just discovered mine only works on the one port on the front. Luckily it works perfectly there. Does not work at all on the rear ports but might revisit that with a bit more knowledge of what voltage the rear ports are outputting.
Initially, for testing purposes, I had the module spliced into a usb cable and it worked on every usb plug I plugged it into. I know have it spliced into a usb header cable and plugged directly into the motherboard and it's working like normal. So in my situation nothing was remembered and it just worked. It's weird that you're getting this issue. Typically usb is standard 5v so if anything the module is getting too much. How sure are you those ports actually work. Dumb question but I had to ask

Valid question - but brand new board and everything else i.e. USB Hard Drives, USB Storage Keys, USB Webcam... all work.
Agreed, it is strange hence my question about whether the OS stored info on which port the USB Module was associated with.[/quote:2b92rijl]
I have now taken the front panel out of the equation. I created a cable to attach to the USB headers on the board (there are 3 available 10 pin headers - each giving two usb ports) of these the module only works with one USB Port but it no longer sleeps. The one it works with is USB Header 1 and only works on the pins 2,4,6,8. If I connect the cable to any of the other connectors on the board the module is not recognised and this is the same whether I use no diode, 1 diode or 2 diodes. This is where it was connected to via the front panel usb port. My Bluetooth module is A1114
A point to notice which I suspect may be relevant is that on my board the USB Header which works is on F_USB1 which is coloured red and therefore different to the other two headers. The manual explains that only this header can support On/Off Charge should the machine be in S4 or S5 mode. It would make sense to me that this functionality could affect voltages. Maybe I will ask Gigabyte support?
If anyone with electrical expertise can help me understand this it would be greatly appreciated.
OK I have it working but I don't understand why!
I wiped my hard drive - I keep my user accounts on a large HDD and system on an SSD so it doesn't take me very long. I then dismantled my USB Cable and attached the Bluetooth A1114 module directly to the F_USB1 header using pins 2,4,6 & 8.
I also fitted my Apple Wireless N mini PCI-E card in its mini PCI-E to PCIE adapter.
I rebuilt using Multibeast 3.4.0 and Wireless and Bluetooth work perfectly and Bluetooth Keyboard works in Chameleon. I did not fit the diodes to the positive line.
I don't understand why it works now but would not auto-sleep when I fitted it there after having originally had it in the front USB port.
I suspect that the reason I had no success on the other USB headers is that I was unaware that diodes ran in only one direction. I bought a pack of 100 diodes and there were no instructions although I do see that they are packed with a white strip of tape retaining at one end and a red strip at the other. Also on the cylinder of the diode one end has a grey metallic paint band around it. Maybe these are some sort of indicators that someone with electrical knowledge can tell me about.
The one issue I have is that the machine will not auto-sleep with an external USB drive (either USB 3.0 or USB 2.0) attached but that is not related to Bluetooth as it is the same with a normal USB Keyboard as well.
