MSI 970 Gaming USB 3.0 drivers

I recently switched to Ubuntu, with intents to make it my main OS. So far I've managed to get everything working correctly except my USB 3 ports. No matter what I plug in (I've tried flash drives, portable hard drives, and wireless adaptors) it receives power, but is never detected by the system.

I'm assuming this problem is due to a missing driver for my motherboard, an MSI 970 gaming.

There are no official linux drivers, but I was hoping someone here could point me to a site that might have some.

I had the same problem. Resolved it by adding in /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft"

Then sudo update-grub, reboot and voilà!
