Did you make sure to disable the power cut Option for the USB plugs? That fixed my issues. I just have to make sure to turn on the Oculus software before doing anything else.

I did, along with a long list of other things. Unfortunately, none of it worked.
Yeah, I ended up buying the Inateck one they recommend - Sadly, it won't be here till Friday which blows...

I had the same issue at first, but I did the following.
Unplug both DP connector and USB for the Rift S
Reboot the PC
Open Occulus Software
Plug in the DP connector first wait for it to recognize
Plug in the USB and wait for it to recognize (I did have to play musical USB ports until it worked).
**I don't remember if it was DP or USB firs but try in reverse order if that doesn't work.
Hopefully that works for you.

Appreciate the tips, sadly it didn't work. Went through a laundry list of potential driver reverts, plug n' play sequences like you listed. Just could not get it to read the sensors. I have an old ASrock Gen3 extreme 3 z68 board that if I recall correctly has had some issues with USB controllers on the MB at other times as well. That PCIe card I ordered should take care of that issue, so I guess it's not a huge deal.
Really need to finally rebuild my PC, was hoping to wait for 4-6 months, but I may do it sooner now. Really missing some of these newer features these current boards have. Would also like to fix this cpu bottleneck as well.

I've been crashing a ton in vrchat, and I narrowed it down to my usb card I got for extra ports.
For a long time I'd either run all my sensors on that card, or the helmet + hyperx headphones with the sensors on my board's usb. But last night if I had anything in the card I'd crash.
What I ended up doing was plugging 2 sensors into the shitty very top usb ports that are for mouse and keyboard, putting mouse and keyboard in the card slots, then using the board usb3 for helmet, third sensor, and headphones.
That got me through a few hours, though I still had a crash every 2 hours or so. USB is such a shit protocol.
My card is a fresco logic. I am not really sure if a new card would fix my problem or if my old crusty board / cpu just can't keep up with the storm of interrupts from USB.
One phenomenon I noticed alot was if I was loading in a couple people's avatars people's voices would cut out so I couldn't understand anyone. I might try next time finding a shitty pair of standard stereo plug headphones I can wear with the helmet so I have one less thing going over USB.

A follow up - I ordered the Inateck card for $28 off of Amazon, and got the headset working. I'm only running the headset and no additional sensors though.

Where the hell did you order one? Everywhere I've looked is sold out
Oculus had a large batch come back in stock probably 10 days ago or?

This is exactly what I did. I got lucky and saw a 128GB model come in stock briefly on Amazon like at midnight Friday night.
Side note, why are they so scarce? Has it been like that since they released a year ago or this shortage cause of the Rona?

That and the HL Alyx hype wiped out almost all the inventory as soon as it was anounced.

I think VR got hit the most, but it seems all consoles got a bump in sales with the stay at home shit.
