Can anyone recommend a USB hub that will actually work OK with USB MIDI controllers and Audio interface?
I've tried several USB hubs.. both USB2 & 3 types, powered and not and I still cannot get them to work properly with my DAW interfaces.
If I plug the MIDI devices (Presonus Fader-Port and USB Audio Box, Korg pafKontrol and M-Audio Radium49) straight into my laptop (A Fujitsu Lifebook) I have no problems whatsoever, however everytime I've tried using a USB hub, The control devices don't register in Reaper and the Audio interface doesn't register properly. There is USB power to the device and I can use a mouse or memory stick from the hubs but other functionality is missing.
Can anyone help?

I HAVE had my NI KA6 working on a powered hub but I only did it for the craic to see if it worked, the general rule is, AIs don't work well or at all on hubs.
I would like to know why! Especially if it is a powered hub. I have used just about every other USB device on a hub, MIDI controller kbds, sticks, printers, a wireless dongle for a Tranzport controller. All of these things worked fine so I do not see the problem with AIs? But there it be!
