Usb 3.0 not working for HP VR Headset . what is usb 3.0 vs usb 3.0 ss ?

[Ardjoena]

I have a usb3.0 problem on my computer for my VR headset. He is in a USB 3.0 port but every time the mixed reality portal program asks that I have to check if he is in a USB 3.0 SS port. I connected everything the first day I got the headset and then he did work on a USB port and the day after he did not work on my USB ports anymore so I would like to find a solution for this but after 2 to 3 days I can not find out any solutions for it  and i did update everything i could what sites told me to update like my windows itself and my drivers + drivers for my motherboard so i did everything i could for my knowledge and now im clueless what the solution for the problem is . Please help 😄

Hi @Ardjoena,

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers.

As I understand, HP VR Headset does not work when connected to 3.0 USB port. 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

When was the last time it was working fine? 

Did you try other device on 3.0 USB Port? 

Were there any recent changes made? 

Please follow these steps install the HMD:

• Connect the HMD to the computer. 

  NOTE: Plug in the USB first, and then plug in the HDMI.

  The HMD display does not show on the Windows desktop. 

  NOTE: If the HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset VR1000 is not recognized or does not function when connected using an adapter, dongle, or hub, connect the headset directly to a USB or HDMI port on the computer, tablet, or other device being used to verify functionality of the HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset VR1000.

If the HMD is equipped with audio, you are able to hear it. If you cannot hear the audio, you can test the audio functionality by connecting external headphones to the PC or to an audio plug on the HMD.

• The HMD and the Monitor are displayed in the Device Manager.

Right-click the Mixed Reality devices in Device Manager and select Properties.

• Verify that the device drivers are downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update.

  Click the Driver tab

• In the list of programs, select HP Mixed Reality Headset Setup.

If Developer Mode has not been enabled, the following page is displayed with the message:

Welcome to Windows Mixed Reality To use this version of Windows Mixed Reality, turn on Developer mode.

If your system meets the requirements for the mixed reality HMD, proceed the next step.

• Click Next on the You're good to go screen that displays the information about your device.

The installation is complete and you are ready to proceed with the next step and the calibration.

Keep me posted!

I hope you have a good day ahead,

And feel free to ask any other queries as well,

Considering, this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help.

Hi @Flower_Bud  ,

It worked the first time when it came in but i didnt had my hdmi in my graphics card because it didnt had extra hdmi space (i have a 1080TI card with 2 dp and 2 hdmi connections) both hdmi  were taken so i did replace those hdmi cables and used adapters for my 2 dp connections and that day my usb 3.0 did work on my headset .

but the day after i tried to set it up again because i had everything up to date and set it didnt connect on the good usb .

I did try other devices on the 3.0 usb ports and all are working fine . i even used the mixed reality checker to see if my pc is capable for the HP VR headset in pc specs and the usb 3.0 was working for the checker ,but if i plug it in it still asks me to check if its in a usb 3.0 ssport.

i didnt change alot in my pc i just followed the instructions on the guides and online guides of HP themself to make my pc HP VR headset ready.

PS: My pc does recognize my headset in device manager but on my hololens Sensors it shows: ' Insufficient USB device speed: 2' Everything is working fine execpt the usb problem and im kinda clueless at the moment .

Hi @Ardjoena,

Thank you for responding,

It's great to have you back 😉

Ensure your windows version 1709 (falls creator update) is installed, if not update your windows,

Go to Device Manager and get latest Intel HD graphic driver using the update option on driver properties.

It will update to the WDDM 2.1 to WDDM 2.2. (screenshot 1 to screenshot 2)

After update, should look like this:

Let me know how that goes and I'll get back to you with more details and/or a complete fix.

Keep me posted!

Cheers!

Still  doesnt  work  on my usb 3.0  thats why im clueless

[Flower_Bud]

Hi @Ardjoena,

USB 3.0ss refers to a superspeed USB port. Try connecting VR Headset to USB 3.0 port with the thunderbolt symbol. 

Keep me posted, if this works 🙂

Cheers!

I have a Asrock Fatality z97x motherboard and i still cant make the headset working 😕

Kudos to you for that. 🙂  AS @Flower_Bud is out of the office for today, I am responding on her behalf. If you look at the screenshot that you've posted, the Bluetooth checklist is not being completed.as it requires the computer to support Bluetooth 4.0 or higher for the VR headset to be paired with the computer.

So please check if the computer supports Bluetooth 4.0 or higher from its product specifications.

Hi David ,

With full respect if u look good on the picture it says the bluetooth is only needed for supporting and connecting the controllers but not for the headset . (also the instruction with the headset didn't said it had to connect on bluetooth )

I still have the issue that my mixed reality portal is not connect my headset on only the usb problem . its getting detected fully on my pc (the headset is dected fully on my pc i mean )  but my usb 3.0 ports (with thunderbolt icon ) aren't fast enough liuke the program said even tho they are 3.0 ss-ports .
