The above thread includes a patch (and DKMS config to install the<br>
patch if you're running a suitable kernel) which may fix the issue if<br>
using xHCI hardware. The thread's OP included dmesg output showing<br>
that they were using a receiver with "mce emulator interface version<br>
1".<br>
<br>
When I just tested the above walk through on my Debian Stretch machine<br>
earlier I should have added that it was running a 4.0.0 kernel with a<br>
new Topseed MCE receiver that reports it's using "mce emulator<br>
interface version 2".<br>
<br>
I recently had lots of fun trying to debug IR issues when trying to<br>
use an RC6-6A-20 remote control with an HP-branded (ids as FINTEK) MCE<br>
receiver. Stuff just wasn't reaching the kernel properly. Nada. Zilch.<br>
Many hours lost. Bought a new Topseed receiver (1784:0011) and<br>
everything just worked.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

I tried a clean Ubuntu 15.04 install and the problem is there as well. Unfortunately the bios doesn't let me disable xHCI. I think it may be time to visit newegg for a new ir receiver.</div><div><br></div><div>-Jerry</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
