>for USB audio, in BIOS, enable USB 2.0.

My experience (with a USB-connected NOS DAC) is that there is a slight improvement when USB 2.0 is *disabled* in BIOS and also when as many unused USB controllers as practicable are disabled (in Device Manager).

I have not tested the change with the Gigabyte mobo and I'm quite happy to concede that the perceived difference is imaginary (though that rather implies that it is no worse either).

What is not imaginary is that (a) disabling unused USB controllers tends skuightly to reduce bus clutter and (b) USB 1.0 is, unless I'm mistaken, fast enough for audio.
