Reply to ASUS n56v USB 3.0 Traktor Problems

I heard there was a discussion thread on here about these issues but I can't find it. Can someone please link it to me?

I got this laptop 3 weeks ago and it's phenomenal. I just started to set up my Traktor and get things rolling. It was the last on my to-do list with this laptop. Had no idea i'd run into problems with the UPGRADED usb ports... I'm hearing the only fix is upgrading to Windows 8. Is that seriously the only fix?

Traktor just keeps freezing on me no matter which usb port I use.

Any advice is appreciated. I can't DJ anymore

Edit: Oh dear god I just watched the Windows 8 reviews. Please let there be another way around this.
