USB ports on external monitor are not recognized

I have an external monitor (ASUS PB238Q) connected to my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop via HDMI. The monitor works totally fine except for the four USB ports on it, which are not recognized by Ubuntu.

Opening a terminal and typing lsusb shows that it doesn't detect when I connect a device. I also tried dmesg | tail which has no change while connecting or disconnecting a device to the monitor's port.

The USB ports on my laptop, as well as the port on my external keyboard work fine.

Any ideas?

Don't forget to connect the USB hub cable to your computer,

It's a USB-B plug right next to those two USB-A ports.
