I installed 32-bit Win7 just for the purpose of updating the firmware on the VIA HUBs but the updater tool is unable to find any devices ("No device found").
Things I have tried:
1. I have installed the 2 Intel chipset drivers and the 1 USB 3.0 driver from the Gigabyte website.
2. I have confirmed that there are no yellow exclamation points in Device Manager and I have confirmed that a USB 3.0 device connected to one of these hubs really does work.
3. I have powered off, completely unplugged, and rebooted many times.
4. I have tried both the VL811 and VL810 updaters on VIA's download site. It appears that my v1.1 GA-Z77X-UD5H has VL811, not VL810 (my Product ID is 0x8110). Anyway, both VIA updaters reported "No device found"
Any ideas on what to do next? This is an old thread but I wonder if anyone else is still having USB3 problems on this board.
WARNING: Trying to install the firmware update from Windows 8 is a bad idea. The tool installs a small driver that causes Win8 to boot loop. I know the VIA install instructions do not list Win8 as supported. Apparently they are serious
