    Hello, I have a slight problem. I have 3 devices connected to my laptop at the moment (Mouse, Headset, and a PS3 controller) when I plug in the PS3 controller it looks like my headset disconnects. I don't hear any sound coming from it, but it still shows up when I go to playback devices. A message popped up earlier saying I don't have enough bandwidth/memory. Does anyone know where to find out how much bandwidth my devices are using and if i went over? Not sure if it's a bandwidth issue or a driver issue.

    Maybe a power issue. Are your devices plugged on the laptop's left side (your right as you face the monitor)? Those left side ports are on a separate board connected to the motherboard . Try plugging one of them on the right side.
