BrentEubanks · 10-06-2017, 07:35 PM

I got a Aura H20 Edition 2 a few weeks ago, and had trouble with the USB connection to (at least) Windows 10 and Windows 7 machines.

I picked up a replacement and discovered that it behaves the same way.

Then I realized I had been using a generic USB cable with it, so I decided to try the cable that shipped with the unit. To my shock, the connection problems seem to have gone away (hard to be positive, since they were intermittent).

Has anyone else has this experience with the H2O Edition 2?

I also have an H2O Edition 1, and it doesn't care what cable I use. I wonder why the Edition 2 is so picky.
