USB devices remain on after I shut down my desktop

Keyboard, mouse and sound card remain lit after shutdown. For reference, with Windows they turn off upon shutdown.

How can I fix that?

I looked at the power settings and saw that some are on by default:

$ for f in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control ; do echo $f $(cat $f); done
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.1/power/control on
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.2/power/control on
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.1/power/control on
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.2/power/control on
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.3/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.4/power/control on
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/power/control on
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/control auto

I tried changing everything to “auto”:

$ echo auto | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control

$ for f in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control ; do echo $f $(cat $f); done
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.1/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.2/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.1/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.2/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.3/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3.4/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9.3/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-9/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control auto
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/control auto

After that when I shut down, either the keyboard or the mouse are turned off, but the rest aren’t.

Any advice?
