Interesting. I had the same issue plugging in my Sony to my hub. It froze and I needed to do a soft reset. It also would not recognize my son's iPod. When I plugged into the USB directly it was fine. I'll have to check what I have on the hub. I'm fine plugging in my reader directly but we got a webcam and it does not reach if I plug it in directly, perhaps if I reduce what is in the hub I could plug it in there. We are seriously thinking it is almost time for a new computer so that might solve it too, lol. Ours is 6 years old although it doesn't run too badly since we upgraded ram and a couple other parts a couple of years ago.
