B550 USB problems when using GTX 1080
My machine faces strange problems with USB when connected to the EVGA GTX 1080. The connection can sometimes disconnect, and audio devices show delays and errors in certain situations. I assembled this setup around a year ago for my living room. Back then I ran the integrated graphics and had no trouble. Later I switched it into my primary system and retired the older 4770k. I've been using the GTX 1080 since 2018. It has consistently performed well and never caused issues. Gameplay runs smoothly, audio works correctly over DisplayPort to my monitor. Only with USB audio devices do problems arise. I've tried two DACs and found the same issue when plugged in directly to the onboard video—even though the card remains installed. I see similar problems with the B550 chipset, but haven't encountered this exact scenario yet. Help needed!
