MSI 970 Gaming USB 3.0 drivers












0















I recently switched to Ubuntu, with intents to make it my main OS. So far I've managed to get everything working correctly except my USB 3 ports. No matter what I plug in (I've tried flash drives, portable hard drives, and wireless adaptors) it receives power, but is never detected by the system.



I'm assuming this problem is due to a missing driver for my motherboard, an MSI 970 gaming (http://us.msi.com/support/mb/970-GAMING.html).



There are no official linux drivers, but I was hoping someone here could point me to a site that might have some.



Thanks!

I had the same problem.
Resolved it by adding in /etc/default/grub



GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft"


Then sudo update-grub, reboot and voilà!

    While this may solve the issue, it would be nice if you explained what this new argument means.
