Framework 16 - USB-A conference microphone disables sound, Win11 quick settings

On my FW16, I have a USB-A module in port 3 - left front (near user) slot.
I tried using this USB conference microphone (mic) when I plug it in, sound input and output is unresponsive. The Windows quick settings menu is unresponsive (when I click the area on the taskbar, a blank window comes up where normally there would be toggles for WiFi, sound, battery, etc). Also the computer will not restart properly while it is plugged in. The computer will act like it is going to shutdown, but the power light stays on and I have to force the computer down and start it back up.
