  • The driver is buggy, or the USB circuitry on your motherboard has malfunctioned, maybe a leaked capacitor somewhere. My bet is on the former. The latter is unlikely to cause such graceful/slight failure. Commented Feb 5, 2014 at 1:56
  • Yeah- that seems like the most likely issue :( Commented Feb 5, 2014 at 2:19
  • One other possibility, though even less likely than the other two, is that the USB device that is causing problems is drawing more power than the USB circuitry can supply. This theory can be tested by hooking a powered USB hub up to your system, and the problematic USB device up to the hub. A powered USB hub should be able to supply sufficient power, and the problem should disappear. But seeing as how the device is a headset, I find this exceedingly unlikely.
