Question LED Strips & Asus Aura Creator

[Ahxakri]

Simply put, I cannot get this software to work with my LED strips. Armoury Crate will work with my entire system. I am able to do all of the basic lighting effects to my entire system and sync them together. My entire system is running in a static color, rainbow, wave, or whatever preset option Armoury Crate allows. The issue is when I try to go and make custom settings using Aura Creator. It will allow me to work with every piece of my system BUT my LED strips and I cannot figure out why. Whenever I try to single out the LED strips and configure them to do any custom lighting, it just turns all of the lights off. The moment I create anything and hit play, everything just goes black. I've tried reinstalling it several times and using many different versions but I've absolutely no clue what would be the issue. I've done custom lighting effects with every other piece but my LED strips simply refuse to do anything but shut off every single light in the system. Armoury Crate recognizes everything hooked to my system and I've even tried calibrating the strips.

have you tried this strip on a different header?

it can just be that this strip is not supported.
many different LED hardware and many different control software just still aren't compatible.

it's hard to believe how many hundreds of times over the last couple years that i've been contacted by someone who purchased a whole system of RGB hardware and ended up not being able to sync most of them no matter what software they use.
hopefully we're heading towards a trend of VESA-type certified LEDs that are cross compatible everywhere.

 

[Ahxakri]

I haven't. I have the Asus ROG Terminal that they're hooked into. I could try Header 3 and 4 in a bit.

I am using it for an AIO, whose fans do have 3-pin-ARGB-connections. That works quite well.
But I do not have any 12v-RGB-LED-strips etc.

Therefore:

The AURA-software from ASUS obviously works with 3-pin-argb-devices.

But does it work with standard 12v-RGB-devices ( like LED-strips), too ?

If yes, then you do have another problem.
If no, than that's the explanation, why it does not work for you.

yes, works fine with RGB & aRGB devices.

have a 4pin RGB header occupied with case LEDs & a 3pin aRGB header occupied with an LED strip.
both show up in Aura Creator along with other devices and work fine together.

 

[Ahxakri]

Yes, everything is recognized by Asus Aura Creator. It just simply won't allow me to make a custom lighting effect.

 

[alexbirdie]

yes, works fine with RGB & aRGB devices.

Many thx for info.

I did not know that.

And again I learned something new .

Hi, I have the same probem. I connect my front RGB fans to the addresable led strip connector, with aura basics colors on armoury create works fine, with every effect synchronized with the ram even. But when I try aura creator for a personalized effect, adressable led strip directly stop working. Unistall and installa armoury create and aura creator and i got the same. But before i was using pefectly with aura creator and led strip. I think this began after they last armoury create update.

I have the same exact issue. Aura Sync recognises the aRGB strip, but Aura Creator doesn't. I've been searching all over the interwebs for any advice, but it seems like it is a fairly recent issue. If any1 could advise how to resolve this, please do so... i don't like being limited to preset options. Thanks.

Same issue here too - has anybody found a solution to this?

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

confirmed to be a current issue with Aura Creator.
nobody here works for ASUS so continue to let them know on the ASUS/ROG forums.

 

[UmbySF3]

Still no solution for this? It’s a pretty annoying bug.

Funny thing, I had this same problem among a few others on my TUF-GAMING-X570-PLUS-{WIFI}

Not only did I have the same problem with the above of applying advanced lighting instead of the basic causing any fan/strip connected through ARGB header to go out., but only the first 6 lights of any strip I connected would light.

My solution was to update my bios. I was using the original dated 2020 some time, the latest for my board is Feb 25 2022 ver:4204.

It fixed both issues above. Maybe see if there is an update for your ASUS Bios

----------------------
It also caused a new issue, which I'll detail here so that if it happens to any of you also, you won't panic about your RAM ARGB suddenly dying.

Pre-bios update, MB, RAM, all worked as expected, basic or advanced in AURA SYNC and CREATOR.

Post-bios update RAM is detected in AURA SYNC, but in creator it is not listed as an available device so no layers can be created for it.

Basic effects apply to the RAM fine. Custom Effects that I created PRE bios update when selected, the RAM functions as per the layers for them inside

They can not be edited/saved over and have the changes applied to the existing layers that were ram, the ram just stays dark

I have a ticket open with Asus about it, but it's likely a coding issue somewhere and probably take a long time (like the next time they update AURA Creator, Bios, or both.

these issues with Aura Creator have been ongoing since 2021.
everyone seems to report the same issue;
all works fine in Armoury Crate with basic effects but many devices are just not detected in Aura Creator so no custom LED profiles can be used across all devices.

after a couple recent updates ago some have reported that Aura Creator has begun to notice all devices again, me included.
but there are still multiple threads ongoing in ASUS forums with new users reporting having the same issue every day.
