In this context, I'm not sure. But nback in the day of electro-
mechanical switches for the phone system, there were a lot of circuits
involved in suppressing the electrical "jitter" that occurs as
electrical contacts "make". Maybe there is some setting you need in some
piece of software to extend the suppression time? Maybe your usb port is
"sloppy" and the contacts are making to much "noise" when you plug
things in?

Have you tried having everything all plugged in when you fire the box
up? Does there seem to be excessive "wiggle" in the connectors?

I know absolutely nothing else I can volunteer.
