There was a problem a while ago where 10 Bit Tag support needed to be disabled to get the add-in sound card (such as SB) working, but I thought this was fixed with AGESA updates. You could try disable it and see if it works. I would have thought SB and AMD would have addressed this by now.

Hello, i have disabled ten bit tag support but nothing change. there is a problem between x16_2 x1_2 and x1_3 when 2 cards is connected. i retry to connect my USB 3 card in 1x_3 but same problem my SoundBlaster X AE5 plus don't work and when i disconnect my USB3 cards My sound card works.

I have write to amd and according to them it is a problem of motherboard it is necessary to contact ASUS. Thing I did and I am waiting for news from ASUS.

it's very strange. At this point AMD chipset Sucks. Intel have a better compatibility with chipset and PCIE lines.

it's not complicated, I'm sure it can be resolved with an agesa update or bios update only

Then can't we connect two cards ? Creative card can work in x1. The problem is the B550plus not the sound card.
with my previous motherboard X470 prime pro have no problem with 2 cards

Hi tifo71,

May double check not working means the sound card didn't appear in the device manager?
Have you restored bios to all default settings, updated bios 2423 and AMD Chipset Driver V2.11.26.106, and it was the same?
May I have the informations below?
-the serial number of your motherboard(via pm)
-the brand and the model name of your ram(such as Hyper X HX446C19PB3K2/16), vga, psu and ther PCIE components
Thank you.
