Asus Azoth keyboard - Keep song on OLED

[Blm79]

Hi,

I bought an Asus Azoth keyboard some days ago and it's a good keyboard but with a bad software...
My problem is, coming from another keyboard with a screen that worked well, how to keep the song displayed on the OLED screen ?
The song title and artist shows when a new song is playing but disappear some seconds later to show the gif. I want it to show all the time the song is playing, this is the only thing that made me search for a keyboard with a screen...
I fear that it is not possible, in which case I will return the keyboard...

Thank in advance for your help.

Hello Blm79

In Armoury Crate on the OLED tab:

Select Music Mode and Media Information. Then click Apply near the top right.

Hi,

This is what I already done. But the song informations displays for like 25 seconds and then it return to the gif.
I want it to stay all time when the song is playing...

Ok, what program are you using to listen to music? Tell me and I'll try yours.

Testing with youtube, the song title stays for the whole song.

I use Spotify.
Tested with Youtube on Chrome, same problem...

Here is a video of the problem (a music on Youtube using Chrome): https://streamable.com/fd75cq
And my config on Armoury Crate:

I don't know if it would make a difference, but I'm using Microsoft Edge.

I tried the same Neil Young song on youtube and the title stays on the screen.

Something easy to try is resetting your keyboard by pressing and holding the Fn + Esc keys until the led's flash green, the OLED display will show it was reset successfully.

Then set it up like in my first post, don't forget to click apply.

Does this get the song title to stay?

Tested what you suggested me, now I have a beautiful rainbow keyboard 😂 but... still have the problem.
Same with Edge.
I don't think the problem comes from my PC, fresh install from 2 weeks ago, already had Armoury Crate because of Asus motherboard, and like I said earlier my keyboard from an other brand with a screen too displayed the song title all time it is playing...

Anyway thank for your help, appreciate it. If it works with you, it should work like this... Curious if other people have same problem as me.

I've found the source of the problem! And I'm not happy about it...
I tested it on another non-Asus PC and indeed, it worked as you said.
So I did several tests on my PC until I found what was causing it: it's the NahimicService. If I disable it and restart the PC, it works as it should. If I reactivate it, it doesn't work anymore.
By the way, it's easy to see: Audio spectrum mode never worked for me (as if no audio was playing), and once the service was deactivated, it worked.

The “funny” part is that the NahimicService was installed by ArmouryCrate (remember, I have an Asus motherboard) and makes possible to run Sonic Studio 3 (bundled with ArmouryCrate), which I use to manage the PC's sound...

So basically, I have two Asus products, incompatible with each other. I have to choose between good sound quality or displaying the current sont title on my keyboard... 🙄

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again. I still have a problem.
I disabled Nahimic on my computer so the keyboard shows the song as I want. The problem is that after maybe 30min/1h, the problem appears again: it doesn't shown any song or show it for 30s.

I thought that it have to be with my computer again so I tested on my other computer, on which I tested the keyboard before, and in fact the same problem appear after a certain time.
This computer is not an Asus, installed some weeks ago, no Nahimic, Armoury Crate was installed just for this keyboard, and it worked well for the first test but at this time I only tested for some minutes.
Now that I tested for more time, I see that the problem appear on this PC too.

Can you tell me if your keyboard shows the song during all the song, even after 1h ?
