since these usb issues with gen4 seem to be happening on all brands of x570 (dont know about b550?) I think its a chipset/agesa issue, hopefully not hardware problem that would be unfixable
I've had this problem for a couple of months now - I have a 5700XT and a Scarlett 2i2 offboard DAC, and the system performed just fine for several months. In the last month or two I've been getting the USB freezes people have been describing ( amazingly annoying, it throws the clock sync for the DAC off so I get audio distortion ) but only when the card is combining monitors. Usually some waggling of the mouse will cause a resync after a while rather than having to hard reset the DAC.
Forcing it to GEN3 makes absolutely no difference, only a reboot helps for a while - which suggests something more like a resource leak so it might even be a driver issue. I'm still using BIOS 2206 so the only thing that's changed has been chipset drivers ( or I suppose the board/gpu/psu ageing ). I have a case fan in literally every slot , so it's not heat buildup ( it does a good job cooling my legs even when it's working hard... ).
Plugging the DAC into a USB controller on it's own did not help, unfortunately. I have a PCiE USB controller in an older PC which I haven't tried yet, that will be the last resort.
Guess I'm sitting on 2206 for a whle longer.
