Hi there,

I have recently bought a usb hub to connect many of my usb devices to my laptop, however, the usb hub doesn't provide enough power. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a hub that would power all of the following; USB microphone, USB headphone Amp/DAC, USB mouse and USB keyboard. I understand that this is a lot to power but just wondering if it is possible with any usb hub without sacrificing on quality. I produce music so wouldn't want any loss of quality in this respect. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

i guess if you were to use a charge/usb port from the laptop while activated the current, then i guess it could be possible
a problem though: your laptop needs to have a charging/usb port

Just get a powered hub, one that comes with a power adapter.

That's the key. If you're using a hub to power devices you must get a mains powered hub, they will deliver the full USB spec power to each port. An un-powered hub draws all it's power from the PC/laptop port and that's just not powerful enough to power multiple devices.
