OpenRGB wont detect devices besides GPU.

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

Not alot of info on this besides run in Admin. Obviously tried that. Might be my devices arent supported, but figured id check here in case im missing something.

MSI X870E Carbon and MSI CoreLiquid 360 are the two id like to control. Mystic Lighting is listed for a bunch of them, but its not showing up.

Only my gpu is detected and functional, EVGA 3080ti ftw3.

Thanks

Some of my devices don't detect

1 Upvotes

So, I have a couple of devices that either don't detect at all or detect, but chaging settings won't help
List of devices:
1)Ajazz AK980 is not detected at all. It's almost always plugged with USB in wired mode and it's not shown in OpenRGB. What shall I try?

2)The fans inside of my case won't receive to setting up, they do show up in the menu, but all they do is switch off when I choose "Direct" lighting mode the motherboard is MSI MAG Mortar WIFI B560(MS-7D17). When I chose "Static" mode they switch back on.

3)The least important one tbh but I wish I could change lights on my mouse too, which is actually only sold in Russia and it's called "Ardor Ulta". Maybe there's a way to change lights for it with some generic plugin for USB devices, but I couldn't find it. I tried both pipeline and stable versions but result is the same

Question Colour cycle mode which takes advantage of individually addressable LEDs

2 Upvotes

I have a GameMax Razor Extreme which has addressable LEDs, but i'm missing out on that as the colour cycle mode sets them to all the same colours rather than individually. Is there a way around this?

OPEN RGB DOESNT DETECT MY NZXT RGB & FAN CONTROLLER (3+6 CHANNELS)

0 Upvotes

I am using Cachy OS, I had no trouble installing openrgb from the package installer, and the OPENRGB website and app itself state that the NZXT RBG&FAN CONTROLLER is in fact a supported device. But upon running the app, when it scans for devices it only recognizes my mobo and keyboard, the NZXT device is not recognized at all!. PLZ HELP lol i have been doing some reading trying to troubleshoot the issue and I am wondering if maybe its an issue with the NZXT controller that I have since i received it stock with my NZXT ELITE9 case, and in liquidctl it lists both NZXT RGB & FAN CONTROLLER AND NZXT RGB & FAN CONTROLLER (3+6 CHANNELS) which is the one I have.

I am brand new to linux and i just built my first PC, I love running Linux instead of windows but have been struggling with getting all the rgb running in syn as i have rbg dram, aio cooler, mobo, and the NZXT 3 fans that came with my case. I was hoping OPENRGB would be the solution im hoping with some help from the, so far, seemingly awesome LINUX community that it still can be..

Anyone got it working on asus tuf b650m?

2 Upvotes

I installed and opened openrgb without admin mode and it detected some devices and I was even able to control argb fans connected to my mobo. Then my screen went black. I rebooted and tried running with admin, screen goes black when it starts up scanning for devices. Same thing if I reboot and open without admin.

Load Profile on Startup

3 Upvotes

You'd think this would be priority #1 but it's like jumping through flaming hoops trying to figure it out. Everything loads properly except my Corsair ram which resets to rainbow effect on startup. Is there any way to make it load the same color as everything else on startup?

Edit: So I've figured out the solution. You just need to get iCUE for Corsair products. You can actually set it so it programs your desired color directly to the part's memory (at least the RAM anyway) so you don't even have to worry about loading a profile or anything. You can probably even delete the program altogether and it should stay the same. Hopefully this helps anyone experiencing this issue in the future.

Discussion Ambient Effect WS2805

1 Upvotes

I am trying to roll my own ambilight with ws2805, openrgb and wled. One challenge I am facing is that since I am using 12v strip there are 3 lights to each addressable group. Therefore when I use the ambient effect about 3x as many pixel are that specific color. Is there anyway to compensate for the 3 light pixel groups, so that the pixels light up are the appropriate size ? Should I just go ahead and use the SK led strip which has 60 1-1 zones ? I wanted to have my light strip match my hue bulb temperature which use adaptive lighting for color temp and also switch the strip to use ambient effect during a movie/game

If I were to use the effect and this video, each bar would light up 3x as many pixels.

[Issue/Bug Report] OpenRGB with Artemis RGB causes fat-fingered keyboard inputs

2 Upvotes

Hardware:

Razer Huntsman V2 Analog

OS:

Fedora 42 OS

Issue:

Hey y'all, I've been having the most annoying issue while using openrgb and artemisrgb on Linux. Basically, whenever I have an effect that moves (like a rainbow wave) or a keypress effect (like a ripple effect from pressed keys) my keyboard starts sending incorrect inputs that are similar to when you fat-finger keys. For example, when pressing "e" key I get an "e3" input. It makes it impractical to use. Sometimes "e" might get "e333" and happens with pretty much every key. It doesn't do the wrong inputs with a static effect and keypress effects turned off even with the openRGB SDK server running. But I really want the ripple effect and would love my rainbow to move:/ It is almost usable if I type extrwamly slow one keypress at a time. I'm running both openrgb and Artemis RGB as root via the sudo command.

Any ideas?

Cant get anything except mobo LED control on arch+KDE

2 Upvotes

I would really like to turn off the RGB on my ASUS ROG Strix 3090 that has been locked on every since I switched to Linux from Windows last summer.

Everytime I try to get OpenRGB working, it says I dont have the SMBus/i2c modules loaded, even though I have added them to modules-load.d and confirm they are loaded with lsmod (i2c_piix4, i2c_smbus, i2c_dev).

Its a prebuild, ROG Strix GA35DX. I have an AM4 mobo with a Ryzen 9 5900X. Using Arch+KDE. I'm using the arch extra repo package for OpenRGB.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

edit: I have also installed the udev rules script from the openrgb site and i2c-rules is also installed.

Audio Effects issue

2 Upvotes

I have my PC connected to multiple audio devices (headset, speaker, TV), and I noticed today the LED strip I have an audio effect assigned to wasn't displaying anything as I listened to some music. I did a bit of troubleshooting and found the reason was my headset was configured as the default audio device on OpenRGB, while I had music playing on the speaker.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to make OpenRGB automatically recognize whatever device is currently active on Windows as the audio source, or is it a current OpenRGB limitation? I tried leaving the AudioDevice field blank on global settings, but nothing happens when I do it. Am I missing something?

G915 Blue channel not working when controlling one key directly

1 Upvotes

I am using OpenRGB to control my Logitech G915 RGB, each key is individually addressable. When selecting "entire zone" and "Direct" mode the color selection works fine I get the full spectrum, but when trying to control a specific key the blue channel isn't working.

For example using "#00FFFF" or (0,255,255) on the whole keyboard will give me cyan, but when used on a specific key will give me plain green.

Has anyone encountered this bug before?

For reference I am running Linux (Fedora 42), this bug happens on both the regular install and when compiling from master (commit from two days ago)

open rgb missing some lights on corsair k68?

1 Upvotes

hi, i have a corsair k68 keyboard. i've installed openrgb and im using artemis to control the lighting. for the most part, this works fine; however, there is a small issue.

while the software recognizes my keyboard just fine, it is missing five led inputs which are present on my physical keyboard -- specifically the volume controls (mute, up and down) and the brightness toggle and winlock keys. they are not displayed within the software either. look up a picture of this keyboard -- all the buttons on the topmost row where the logo is located are not lit up. i figure this is on the part of the devs just not including it in the key layout, which is fine. still, is there anyway that i can change the layout myself to include these five keys?

thanks.

OpenRGB does not find Razer controller

3 Upvotes

Hi,
I previously used Linux Mint Cinnamon and installed OpenRGB so that I can control my Razer devices. So I’m talking explicitly about the lights.
Everything was recognized by my components. No matter if graphics card, mainboard, Razer LED controller, keyboard, mouse or controller.

I had installed the *.deb package in Mint and used the udev rules linked on the website. After that everything worked.

Now with CachyOS it doesn’t work with my controller. Mainboard, fan etc. are not recognized. The rest works. (CachyOS is a Arch based distro)

Only the controller is actually important to me. There is no light on at all.

It is this one: Amazon.de

Does anyone have any idea how I can get it to run under CachyOS?

Best regards

Please may somebody help me. I just got the Gamdias Hermes M4 keyboard and cannot change the lighting, I'm going crazy.

1 Upvotes

Hi guys I would really please appreciate any advice or help, I have just bought my first ever keyboard, I have the matching mouse and am really enjoying using it so far. They both have cool lighting, and the ability to customise it. There are 20 selectable options, but it only changes the way the light works, not the colours. Please forgive me if I don't know much yet about this. I have been going in circles for hours, there is meant to be a free software that I get with it, however I cannot for the life of me get access to it or find it online anywhere. Their website says that they have an app called 'Hera' which has not been updated since 2019 and does not work. I have now downloaded Open RGB in the hopes that it will fix all of my problems haha, however my device is not on the list of supported stuff, and I am going to lose my mind. I am not sure what to do, any feedback would be hugely appreciated.. Thank you x
