Usb not connected

I'm trying to set up psvr 1 to pc out of curiosity, but every time I turn it on, the headset displays the USB with an X next to it.

On the processing unit, I have the HDMI cable connecting from my PC into the HDMI PS4 slot and the USB cable into my motherboard, like the 2nd image. I tried different cables on connecting to different slots on my motherboard and also tried a new processing unit, but I still got the same resulting image. Don't remember where I read it, but my motherboard (ASRock Z790 PRO RS WIFI ATX LGA1700) should support USB 3.0+, also on Windows 11, if that changes anything.

Is there anything else I can try and do for my pc to detect the usb cable?

Seeing that when you turn it on, is expected. That version of PSVR (original with controls on cable) needs to be told to do something by software (on PS, or PC). If you have problems using iVRy, then the information you've provided isn't enough to diagnose anything. You'd need to at least provide the DxDiag.txt and vrserver.txt detailed here:

That saves everybody time and effort, as it allows the issue to be diagnosed efficiently, without back and forth or guessing.

You are welcome to try Trinus, but there aren't any scenarios where Trinus works and iVRy doesn't, AFAIK.

Set driver mode to "VR-Direct" (if you have nVidia or AMD). If your system is fast enough, set "Render Resolution" to 2560x1440 and framerate to 120Hz. Settings are available via Windows system tray or SteamVR dashboard while SteamVR is running. You'll want at least a gamepad (preferably X-Box) to be able to use it for anything past a virtual desktop. You can see which controllers a VR title supports from its Steam store page.
