I did send a PM with the log file link, but just to be doubly sure for anyone else experiencing the same problem. I noticed about a week and a half ago a 'Bad Image' dll error on startup for the ArmouryCrate service. I'll get 3 or so on startup followed by another 1 to 3 about an hour afterwards. I uninstalled the app completely which obviously stopped the error. I downloaded the latest version off the Asus website and installed it to find the same error.

Here we go again...

3. 3rd-party peripheral, audio, or lighting software: NZXT CAM.
4. wireless connection
5. Reinstalled Windows? YES.
6. Windows version & build 20H2 - 19042.631
7. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as "expected": the Previous Armoury Crate version....
8. Clear description of your issue: Music effect does nothing when selecting other than Nvidia HDMI audio to UHDTV. Selecting Sound Blaster Z as windows audio device = not a single led turns on. Going back to HDMI nvidia Audio all working "normal".

Also, now the pattern for lighting effect seems broken. The pattern does a "carrousel" effect (the whole ram sticks oscilate the colors of the pattern, before the Ram sticks lighted up using a "fixed" pattern, it is hard to explain, I'm adding two short videos to add context. Basically I achieved a cool VU Meter effect, now it does the "rainbow" style and it just sucks. Previous version was "fine".1

9. Any screenshots of the issue:
This video shows the desired effect (low part of the memory white/yellowish, middle part orange, and top red based on the frequency of the audio)

Armory Crate last update: awful result:

Come on guys, even widely known awful software like CAM is getting updated, fixed and get new features with each update... we expect no less from Asus.
Please fix the pattern or add an option to choose Fixed or "dynamic" mode. OR instead of doing the installation web based just release old version as standalone programs... previous version was far from perfect but at least it kinda worked ok.

A few little updates were released today for Aura Kit (memory and Addresable led strip), still no fixes for previous issue. 😞

I reported this in the older thread, but with the latest version the language is still in French.

So after the update to this current version added in trying to control my EVGA video card (which does NOT work) and that somehow corrupted my video driver I ended up using the uninstall tool to remove AC and Creator and went back to Aura Sync. That lasted a week after I realized it was causing random BSOD's once a day or more (last one on Sunday was so bad Windows almost couldn't recover and I only fixed by shutting the PC off fully and turning back on). So I removed that, waited two days to verify no BSOD, and put Armoury Crate/Aura Creator back on. Seems to be working "ok" for now.

I've noticed a weird issue though. Setting LED count for my ARGB headers is not working anymore. Previous versions of armoury crate I had strip 2 set to 6 and as you increased from 1-6 you could see a new LED on each of the 4 Fractal Prisma fans I have that are daisy chained light up. Strip 1 has my case's Phanteks RGB hub attached to it which has an LED ring from my reservoir, the built in light strips in the case, and 3 front Prisma fans connected to it. Setting that to 42 used to be the exact number to get all of them to light up. Now no matter what I set Strip 1's count to, nothing changes. However Strip 2 LED count seems to be affecting BOTH headers. I.e. if I set it to 6 to match the Prisma fans connected to it, a large number of LED's on the other header shut off. Setting it to that 42 number lights them all up as expected but that's not the right header in the software.

Yes I rebooted after install and "check for updates" which installed an update for the memory ARGB, then rebooted again.

Here's the HAL/etc. info from "Service Version" on the About tab.

@flyonion exact issue for me with argb headers, if i set 1 to 21 the other one will be set to 21 also im so frustated by it.
Usually i set one to 21 the other one to 56 so the rgb scales perfectly so for example my fans have 7 leds i could set it to 7 but i multipli it by 3 and set it to that so it spreads the effect properly not to mention it looks better that way, but now i have to set it to 42 so making it so that colors on my fans don't match in size anymore which is so annoying, meaning to not notice that i have to set it on pink to purple pattern for rainbow to not notice that.

So after new update, Armoury Crate and Aura Sync dont detect my Rog Gladius 2.
Aura sync is showing only some generic mouse in devices...even when rog gladius is disconnected.
