Issue with Slow Reboot When Using Level1Tech KVM (10G Edition) on ASRock X670E PG Lightning USB-C Port
This week, I became the proud owner of a Level1Tech KVM 10G Edition. While it’s been great overall, I’ve encountered some odd behavior that I wanted to share.
The Setup
- Motherboard: ASRock X670E PG Lightning
- USB Connection: USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Type-C port
- Peripherals Connected to KVM:
- Wooting keyboard (normal USB port)
- Razer Viper 3 Pro (HID USB port on the KVM)
The Issue
When connecting the KVM to the USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen2x2) on my motherboard:
- The PC experiences very slow rebooting. (Note: Not slow booting, only rebooting.)
- The system seems to hang just before the GRUB menu.
- When it finally reaches the GRUB menu, navigation is extremely slow, though it does eventually respond.
Troubleshooting
- Switching the KVM connection to any other USB Type-A port resolves the issue.
- Simply unplugging the USB-C cable also resolves the problem.
Current Status
I’ve found a workaround by avoiding the USB-C port, so functionality isn’t heavily impacted. However, I’m curious if this issue is worth reporting or if others have experienced something similar.
Looking forward to hearing if anyone has insights or solutions!
