July 25, 20214 yr According to the comments on this video, you need a Powered USB 3.0 Gen 1. Later versions of USB, such as 3.1 give connect problems with G2. Sometimes the display will not even display anything at all in that case. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

July 26, 20214 yr Sorry, I cannot. But here is the place to go to learn. HP itself makes a HUB that works but I imagine it is hard to find. https://www.reddit.com/r/HPReverb/ 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

July 26, 20214 yr The horror stories on Reddit about experiences with HP G2 are mind boggling. One guy now has 5 cables (the one that runs from the headset to the computer (video and USB). HP kept sending replacements. Several persons have got replacement G2 headsets, some have received two replacements. Some have tried hub after hub to get one that worked. By the way this is exactly why the Oculus Link cable is so expensive. It has no wires inside, fiber optics which do not break under flex nearly as easy. And superior materials inside the cable. But even that great cable has failed. Determined VR players have installed pulleys overhead to protect the wires. The reason G2 users here on Avsim have so many fewer problems is that they aren't running and spinning around all over, waving their arms playing Beat Saber. The headset, cable, and plug sockets are not under great stress like with typical VR games. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

July 27, 20214 yr Author I just hope i've not wasted my hard earned cash,i was going to get a Rift 2 but reading this forum i changed my mind and bought this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Reverb-G2-VR-Headset-Extras-/174841672635?nma=true&si=eCq7QkIWDLjOBHPrtsVjauAAYhs%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Edited July 27, 20214 yr by DickDastardly spelling mistake
July 27, 20214 yr Some motherboards work with the onboard USB. I have a Asus RogStrix X570-F that works with the case USB headers only (non of the rear work). I've also recently built two "E" version of the same motherboard and none of the USB ports work. I've tested 3 different brand USB 3 PCIe cards and all of them work fine
July 27, 20214 yr I wouldn't worry about your purchase. imho there's currently still nothing better than the g2 available for overall visual quality and compact size, especially under $1k aud. 👍 The systems I've recently built are all AMD cpu based. If the hub you've bought doesn't work, a pcie add-in card should solve any issues Edited July 27, 20214 yr by dogmanbird

August 2, 20214 yr i had problems with the g2 , have 2pc it worked with my intel 9900k asus formula 2080ti if a put usb in the gpu usb port , then i tested the usb c port on the mobo no go. on my second main Sim pc AMD 5950x Gigabyte x570 and 3090gpu not worked only errors sometime it worked on one of the front USB but very laggy. was in contact with HP support they send me a new cable and a HP mini Hub. tested the new cable on the Intel system with usb C port from back of the Mobo all worked without USB Hub. then to my AMD system hocked up the Usb on the C-port on the gigabyte board without any USB hub, It suprized me it worked flawless , my conclution its cable problems here a link to HP support tread with pics of the cable https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Accessories/HP-Reverb-G2-Errors-7-14-4-1-or-audio-stutters-drop/td-p/8122856 Edited August 2, 20214 yr by westman http://
August 20, 20214 yr I just wanted to mention that I recently requested a replacement cable as Westman did, and so far it has been working on any USB 3 port on the Asus Rog Strix x570-E motherboard. 👍 (previously none of this motherboard's USB ports worked with G2) I've found that the power may need to be turned off / on (at the interface box) just after the USB cable is plugged in, for it to establish a connection (if it reports an error of some kind). It's the large version of the interface that I received. (has a power button) Edited August 20, 20214 yr by dogmanbird
