Yeah, that was the idea. But I can’t figure out how to go ‘headless’ and also use XX in ‘Minimise OS’ and ‘Unattended’ mode. I’m hoping 0.9z-7 might provide a solution… For now, I’m using a cheapo Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti.

Oh that is interesting , because in my new pc , I am experiencing the same thing and I do not have the video card . Did some mail excange with Peter , and I did think it was some driver problem , did some restore . But after a while it wont go to minimized os properly : the wasapi services remains on , the lan services also , and the minimized desktop doesn't work . s

Haha.
But do you happen to know what happens when you swap the state of that power management back and *then* reboot into Normal ? Not that this should be your procedure, but when this is confirmed I may be able to do something about it. May, because at this moment I have no clue what happens.
Regards, Peter
Still do not know what happens , but I did try this : went to minimize OS , swap the USB 3 management to "disabling" . The from the same state , "enabled" again . Back to Normal state OS . Confirmed that the disabling is uncheck . Try again Minimize OS , no effect : the OS stay normal . For now I decide to let the management enabled . Grazie

Well , not yet . But... when I do the swap , it says " must reconnect all your devices for the new settings " . I guess I will try to reboot instead .

Hi all ,
In the mobo USB 3 set-up , after the manual reinstall of the Renesas I have found a little Host Controller gui -attached below- , that behaves strange . Infact , when " disabled USB 3.0 power management functions" is checked the system won't go to minize OS anymore and will have to chose a restore point back in a time to let XX High End minimize the operating system again .
It's strange also because for a while I thought that this check allowed to remove all the clicks that was there between the playlist reproduction , and the sound was very very smooth and detailed . Well , just with the full OS .
s
I may add that if that thing is checked when the minimize OS is working , it will work ( work? ) , and reboot still in minize OS and so on , until the decision to go back to the normal state ( no minimize OS ) . At that poing there will be the beginning of this post: the only way to go back to minize will be the restore . Thanks and regards Stefano

Hi Nick, thanks for this. After trying a few things, I stumbled upon this version of the driver myself, an hour or so before I saw your post. In any event, it has done the trick. Everything now works as expected (see attached jpeg).
And the sound? Well, very, very nice indeed. Mani.
The Z68 mobo here has the same driver 2.0.34.0 , and after the reorganizing of some sequence of installations , it works very very well also . Without the need to disable USB 2 and Lecacy . I mean it , very very well . Now listening to SFS=280 , Adaptive mode , Buffer Size = 4096 , Clock Res = 15ms as Peter suggested for fun . For me is quite exellent . And even if I do not own the Queen record mentioned ,I seem to recognize the effect ... But I was already a "fan" of the High Buffer size :-)

it could be the perfect setting for classical. I don't think I or anyone else ever said something stupid like this. But since USB3 I suddenly have these kind of thoughts, and without notice I even wrote it now. (meaning : since when is it the idea to use "processing" of any kind to tweak for music types ?? -> should be wrong) Very good point . Of course that "should" be wrong . Some people ( or fiew ) in the music recording places started to understand that .

Having saying that , trying back the USB2 , the sound is stronger , like there is some power added to the bass , it's a bit more "difficult" to listen to , but instead apparently more clear , and it goes to listen at a minor "gain" ( volume ) . Oh and the SFS set is still about 500 .... Soon I'll disable the USB 2 from bios and report back some impressions with USB 3 again , which for now produces some clicks now and then to the reproduction .

gives +50 mega SFS What do you mean by this ? Hello , I mean that with USB 2 ( and USB3 disabled by bios ) the max SFS my system could play , and after 2 or 3 reboots before going to Minimized OS , -was- 350 sfs SC . Connected to USB 3 , it play at 400 sfs max . SC. s Actually in Minimized OS it goes to 500 SFS SC , seems a good result to me ...

FYI :
A week back or so, I uninstalled the Phasure driver and reinstalled it USB3 connected. I never heard one "crack" since. So there something matters too.
But notice what I said earlier : after connecting to USB3 the first time, nothing auto-installed on that port, and possibly this is not right.
Regards, Peter
PS: Still liking it. In my case I don't see different CPU behaviour.
I did find the same thing on my recent USB3 installation .
