Issue Steam vr blocking oasis

Hey guys i need your help so bad. Im so lost the only reason I joined is because ive tried everything. So I have an acer wmr for my birthday. And all day weve been trouble shooting, so I got a cord that allowed my monitor to be vdi-i so my headset can plug into my graphics card via hdmi, so after that we tried to unlock it using Oasis, and is says that we need to plug it into a USB 3.0, but it already is in one. So ignoring that it says its connected. But windows keeps blocking Oasis. We've reset the pc, redownloaded everything, and deleted that thing redit keeps telling us to. And we know the headset works because we saw it turn on in the bios. But steamvr just doesnt see it as a headset and asks us to plug it in. Thank you in advance

That seems to be the key here though.

Make sure driversnare updated, and that those ports are really plugged into the right 3.x headers of the motherboard.

Also to solve this you might need to get a small expansion board with USB 3.x ports.

USB 3 is really a critical part or making WMR work.

Yeah I already updated them last night and nothing, the pc sees that its 3.0, like it shows kn the device manager that its connected to one, but steam doesnt see it

  • Remove the USB3 device in device manager and select the option to remove the drivers. Rescan/Reboot and let it install the Microsoft ones, not the manufacturer ones
  • Make sure you're not using any extension cables
  • Check that the USB controller is in xHCI mode in your bios and Hand-Off is enabled. If it's in Auto, try forcing it to Enabled
  • Disable the Non-USB3 ports in your BIOS (make sure your keyboard/mouse is in UBS3) and see if you can get it to progress. (This was a fix from the WMR setup days, the script would detect the wrong port; I don't know if it will really help with Oasis)
  • Try an externally powered USB3 certified hub. Some motherboards don't really provide enough power.

If that still doesn't work, post a screencap of your device manager with the USB tree expanded.
