1 - Placement of sensor.
2 - This is where my head is when I play.
Hello, I have the same problem and its getting really annoying. I have sensor placed above my head slightly to right side pointing directly to oculus headset, no more than 1 meter away no physical obstructions in line of sight. Both headset and sensor are plugged in USB 3 ports with newly downloaded drivers. PC is high end with i7 6core, 32 gigs of RAM and GTX 1080. I tried multiple USB ports for both headset (all 3.0) and sensor and I am still facing TWO MAJOR ISSUES. 1 - tracking jumps from one place to another. Even few meters away. When I try to calibrate sensor itself (as visualized) it constantly jumps to places it certainly physically isn't. I tried dark room, light room. Nothing helps. Also - headset audio (built-in headphones) stop working after few minutes. Audio just stops playing and headset goes silent. My PC SHOULD BE fully VR Ready and even has VR Ready sticker placed on its case. Other than that I like VR and looks amazing. These blocking issues simply prevents me from getting what I paid for. Any help with that?

I'm angry that no one has offered solutions to this, as I'm in thew same boat and done everything from a reformat to a USB driver reinstall.
Something, some process or "thing" is causing these issues for a ton of people and there still isn't an answer for it anywhere that I've found fixes the issue.
As soon as I figure out what the hell is happening, I'll edit my post with directions.
Hello,
I just recently got my Oculus Rift (Less then a month ago) and ran into this same issue and this is how I solved it. First off, I tried everything RobHermans suggested in his post. However, that did not work for me. So this is what I did do (This might be what he meant by "make sure that USB is not being powered down by the OS" but I am not sure how to check that).
Here is my computer set up, with 4 usb 3.0 ports labeled.
I have two ports (1 & 2) on the back of my PC going straight to my mother board, and two ports (3 & 4) on my front panel. I started by having my HMD plugged into Port 1, with my sensors plugged into 2 and 4. This worked fine for a couple of days until I started to lose tracking and the poor tracking quality warning appeared. So to fix the warning, I switched my two sensors to port 3 and 4. This worked great until I added 3.0 usb extension cables. Then the warning came back. To fix the error this time, I put my sensors (with extension cables) in ports 1 and 2, while switching the HMD to port 3. That seemed to have fixed my issue. However, every time I turn off my PC, I have to unplug and plug back in my sensors, otherwise the error will appear again. I have been playing with this set up for the last couple of days and have not had any issues with tracking. I have my two sensors set up across the room from each other to get a 360 tracking and the tracking has been working great (as good as two sensors can get that is).
