USB (to be more specific seems to happen mostly with USB 2.0, but there are also people having issues with USB 3 etc) has connectiviy/dropout issues on both Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 5000 CPUs if you have a PCIe Gen 4 GPU with Gen 4 enabled. I'm affected myself: If I connect my peripherals to any USB 2.0 ports on my motherboard, they drop out/disconnected randomly when the CPU load is high. The issue is resolved by switching the GPU to Gen 3 mode, but that's obviously a workaround and NOT a solution.
Also, it seems like all or at least most people with the HP Reverb G2 VR headset are unable to use it on the x570 / b550 platform. It just doesn't work. Like, at all. Period. People are purchasing add-in USB PCIe cards in order to be able to use it.
Well, after ignoring the issue for months, they finally released a statement:
Let's just hope this is BIOS / AGESA / microcode update material, and not recall material.
Disconnect my USB peripherals if old.

r/Amd - An Update on USB connectivity with 500 Series Chipset Motherboards

AMD is aware of reports that a small number of users are experiencing intermittent USB connectivity issues reported on 500 Series chipsets. We have been analyzing the root cause and at this time, we would like to request the community's assistance with a small selection of additional hardware configurations. Over the next few days, some r/Amd users may be contacted directly by an AMD representative (u/AMDOfficial) via Reddit's PM system with a request for more information.
This request may include detailed hardware configurations, steps to reproduce the issue, specific logs, and other system information pertinent to verifying our development efforts. We will provide an update when we have more details to share. Customers facing issues are always encouraged to raise an Online Service Request with AMD customer support; this enables us to find correlations and compare notes across support claims.
