Error couldn't claim the USB interface: LIBUSB_ERROR_BUSY

This error occurs when running 'xboxdrv'. The full error is as follows:

Controller:        Microsoft X-Box 360 pad
Vendor/Product:    0x45e:0x28e
USB Path:          001:023
Controller Type:   Xbox360

-- [ ERROR ] ------------------------------------------------------
 Error couldn't claim the USB interface: LIBUSB_ERROR_BUSY
Try to run 'rmmod xpad' and then xboxdrv again or start xboxdrv with the option --detach-kernel-driver.

Running with the '--detach-kernel-driver.' command doesn't change anything and 'rmmod xpad' returns with

rmmod: ERROR: Module xpad is not currently loaded

How can I get more info on why this is happening in order to fix it?
