Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow 2013
Headphone: Steelseries Siberia frost blue(Usb)
Problem that I am getting right now is that when ever connecting my headphones in keyboard side usb an error pops up saying that "USB device not recognized...........One of the Usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows didn't recognize it,with a yellow exclamation mark."But the same headphones work perfectly in other Usb ports in the same pc.I tried uninstalling "USB unknown device" and "Usb root hub from device manager",but it didn't solve my problem.( When looking in device manager Usb controller no controllers is having any yellow exclamation mark).My speakers work fine also and the rest of the keyboard also working well.In fact pen drives can also be dealt in that Razer keyboard side usb port as well perfectly.:cry::-(:cry:

may be the KB can't just provide enough power through it's usb port required for the headphone.
