You could also spend $100 on a hub like I did but I wasn't exactly going to recommend that everyone run out and get a 90W 16 port Hub Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
October 23, 2025Oct 23 Since you're going the software route, you can probably create a batch file to disable the devices before simming and another to re-enable the devices after simming using the pnputil.exe command, something like: pnputil /disable-device "USB\DevceInstance\ID1Here" timeout /t 2 pnputil /disable-device "USB\DevceInstance\ID2Here" The /enable-device switch will re-enable the device. I also have a bunch of (unplugged) audio devices, if I ever get back into music production, I'll give this a shot myself.
