I get this error when connecting one of my sticks that is fitted with one of the "Zero Delay" pcb boards.
Works fine on another pc (both Windows 10) but not on my main gaming rig
Tried messing with the xHCI settings in bios, updates, restarts and selling my soul. No joy. Searching the above error and the dreaded "error code 43", reveals a circle-jerk of epic proportions.
What am I missing here?
I assume you are using a USB joystick right ? This error means that the device fails to answer a device descriptor request during enumeration process; most probably a STALL but you would need a comm analyzer to confirm this.
You could try to add a USB hub in between the device and your PC: sometimes devices expose themselves to the bus too early and are not ready to answer USB requests; adding propagation time might help alleviate the issue. Device Descriptor request is the very 1st request the host sends to the device.
