Hello, I am a rog spatha user and I have a problem with the version of armory crate v3.3.7.0. When I turn on the computer, it shows that the connection between the armory crate program and asus rog spatha and rog strix scope has been lost. I will not be able to do it if I want to make a very urgent adjustment relevant. And rog spatha it misrepresents the remaining battery percentage. I installed the Armory 2 program. To see the battery percentage, it shows that it has 40% charge, the dock light is green, but when I look at the armory crate program, the battery shows 25%.

I can't update to ASUS Framework Service 2.0.2.3. It shows the update again and again even after updating.

[JonTeoh]

Recently, I've been getting a lot of asus_framework.exe and ArmouryServerSocket.exe crashes in my event logs.

Can someone help me with this?

Lights are still pulsing using Smart effect. There is no way to make lights stable (speed slider).

8. Clear description of your problem: it turns out that when I first turn on the laptop I did an animation and the keyboard would light up completely red after I would go to the setting I had chosen for lighting. It turns out that now it does not light up and only after logging in with my user and waiting a few minutes it lights up and with errors (for example: I have the rainbow lighting applied that changes from left to right and when the error gives me the keyboard is totally poorly lit (that is, keys with colors that have nothing to do with the subject, keys that are off, do not move and some with colors with high brightness and others with very low brightness). What bothers me is that the lighting is not active before logging in because I can't see the lyrics. A and another thing, it gives me a service error every now and then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it continues the same

3. 3rd party parts: Creative Labs Z series sound card

5. Reinstalled Windows?: Are you kidding?? Not with how much I'd have to reinstall!

7. Previous version of firmware or software that worked as expected: None
8. Clear description of your issue: All Aura effects work, except audio, which does not react regardless of which audio device I am using.
9. Any screenshots of the issue: Well, I could send a photo of a dark PC case, but I don't see how that would help.
10. Use our new log collection function: Settings=>About=>App diagnostics



All driver and Windows updates have been applied, but no matter which audio device I choose to play sound through...

Speakers (Soundblaster Z)
SPDIF (Soundblaster Z)
Speakers (Game DAC Game)

...the Aura 'Music' option does absolutely nothing. Every other effect works just fine but if music is selected, every LED on my system goes dark. Now, given that I just spent the last couple of hours re-organising all of the LED strips in my PC, and adding two long ones that surround my 55" TV, I'm a bit disappointed that I can't take full advantage of them. I believe that this problem has existed with many versions of Armory Crate, so it seems to be an ongoing issue.

Which version of Armoury Crate are you using?
I had previously reported a bug that Music would do nothing if I chose something different than NVIDIA HDMI audio, Choosing any source of the Soundblaster Z would make any music effect stop working. After update 4.0.8.0, Swaping between HDMI AUDIO and SBZ makes the SBZ works but only a few minutes, after that it stops working until you reopen AC OR Swap to HDMI and then back to SBZ.

EFFECTS NOT WORKING after switching audio source is present since version 3.2.4.0 and light PATTERN got broken on version 3.3.7.0 (that was 2 months ago).
PLEASE RELEASE VERSION 3.3.7.0 as STANDALONE install while you keep working on AC, Really...


OG post:

1. PC
2. Aura Sync products: B550-F ROG STRIX
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvcMsdt2Prs

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.

PLEASE FIX THE LIGHT PATTERN

Whichever the most recent version is, which if I read it correctly is 4.0.8.0

Following some component updates a few days back, I am now having exactly the same problem that you have described, in that music response now works on my Soundblaster Z card, but only for about 10-15 minutes then the LEDs just turn off again. Switching from music to another effect and then back again restores the audio response, but only for a while. So, for a while at least, the strips around my TV do work and it does look pretty sweet :D.

May wanna add memory support to aura creator, its quite silly its not there, having custom effects would be kinda useless if it does not apply to everything.
