I'm having lots of issues with USB devices (MIDI instruments and audio interfaces). Some devices work in my 2.0 ports but not the 3.0 ports. Others don't work at all. Others work sporadically... but I can't rely on this machine at all as it is. At first I thought it was just an issue with USB hubs (because those don't seem to work) but it's bigger than that. I've searched for wisdom regarding which drivers/patches are optimal for my setup (or even just in general) and I can't find much.
What are we (hackintosh newbies) supposed to do to set up USB and make it as reliable as possible? Is there anything in the BIOS I should check? Any special patches or drivers? The only USB related drivers/patches I've installed were the "3rd Party USB 3.0" and "Increase Max Port Limit 100 Series" options inside of Multibeast. That's all I could figure out based on the installation guide and my googling. If there's a resource out there I'm missing, I'd really appreciate a link. Otherwise, I'd just appreciate some input regarding my setup - is there anything else I can do to make my USB connections more reliable?
Motherboard: Asus z170i Pro Gaming
CPU: i7 6700k
I'm running sierra 10.12.4 currently, though I'm contemplating an upgrade to 10.12.5

FYI Mods: I posted previously about USB hubs, but that was too narrow a topic and not really my issue anymore either so I made this new, broader thread. My apologies if this is messy - feel free to delete that other thread b/c this one will be more useful to the community in the long run (if the issue is resolved, that is).
