usb 3.0 xHCI support is through the usb driver and canot be disabled
the usb 3.0 is backward compatable to usb 2.0 and usb 1.0
the usb 3.0 driver will auto detect the capabilities of the device it is talking to and auto switch to the required speed
IE- if a 2.0 device then it will downgrade the speed/protocall to 2.0 if 1.0, again it will do the same
newer systems using the later usb 3.0 chipsets can auto up/downgrade the speeds to each device attached to the usb 3.0 port IE_ you can have a mix of 2.0/3.0/1.0 devices attached and the usb 3.0 port will talk to each device at the required speed
in short there is no valid reasion to do what you are asking,.....so why do you want to do this?

Thank you very much.
Why do I have to do this ,because I have a VOIP analogy voice card.
If used on usb 3.0, there will be problems that cannot be read data, causing sound interruption,if i can adjust the xchi option, can avoid this problem.

and what voip card model do you have, and does the maker explicly state that it's not compatable with usb 3.0 xHCI is a part of the 3.0 usb spec.
also since most systems come with BOTH usb 3.0 and 2.0 ports why not use a usb 2.0 port.

sounds like the usb device you are attaching has buggy usb firmware or the usb driver for the device is buggy
are you by chance trying to install (or have installed) a usb device driver under compatability mode?
