Area 51 R2 not working with HTC Vive - Not enough USB Resources
I have an Area 51 R2 and just purchased an HTC Vive. When I try to use the Vive I receive an error "Not enough USB resources" and the device fails to recognize. If I unplug every USB device from the Area 51 except a mouse and keyboard then it works, but I cannot use a gamepad or any other USB devices.
Reading some forum posts, typically a driver or bios update fixes this on most devices. I checked and I have the most current BIOS and drivers from support.dell.com.
Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thank you

All else fails you might want to try a PCI USB expansion card

Quick update, I tried both the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and no difference. I may order the pci USB card if I can't get this to work.
Does anyone know if updated drivers or a bios are coming? The last updates were a while ago.

That's unfortunate...did you have the same problem I did? I should have a USB controller card coming by the end of this week, I'm going to try that to see if it fixes the problem.

Good news, a USB PCIe card fixed my issue and now I can use the vive with other USB resources attached.
Thanks, all.
If you have issues with the USB ports, this should be a work-around.
