This is less of an issue and more of an annoyance, but either way I wanted to post this here to get some opinions.

I have the B650 Steel Legend motherboard, running the 3.15 version of the BIOS. I have a handful of USB devices, but two of them have interesting behavior. It's an Oculus Rift S headset and a wireless adapter for the DJ Hero controller. These two devices will only ever work correctly on two USB ports - the USB 3.2 Gen 1 ones on the back, closer to the board. On the rest of the ports:
- The Rift S headset will either suffer from stuttering image (since the headset uses DisplayPort for video output, I'm assuming it's struggling with polling sensors?) or will show a message saying something about being unable to connect to the headset.
- The adapter gets detected on every USB port, but despite that it will fail to receive any input from the controller, unless the adapter is plugged into one of those ports above.
As far as other devices go - mouse, keyboard, external drive, USB DAC, microphone, an UPS - they all work great regardless of where I plug them. It's just those two that are picky. On my previous ASRock motherboard (X570 Phantom Gaming 4), this did not occur.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems with this or other AM5 motherboard?
