Try doing a clean reinstall of the display drivers. NVidia’s tool isn’t always the best, so I recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller first. Afterwards, install the latest driver for your GPU.

Hope that helps!

Same issue here, but mine is a Gigabyte GTX 1070 on an Asus ROG STRIX x470 board. System is working flawlessly and video adapter shows in the system info area of the program.

Did using DDU to do a complete reinstall of the drivers do anything?

Hi Patrick. No, I haven’t. I didn’t want to jeopardize a rock-solid system just to control a few LED’s. :wink: I’m no Engineer, but I’m confused as to why a ‘supported’ peripheral that Signal, along with the entire system, recognizes correctly but isn’t showing as a connected under ‘Devices’.

Usually the reason is because there’s an underlying issue with the setup, drivers, or system. Sometimes the drivers aren’t working properly or it’s a variant GPU that needs the device IDs added to the plugin. First place to start though would be reinstalling the drivers, which is a standard step in troubleshooting and low-risk.

Generally speaking, if the RGBs of the GPU don’t respond on startup then it’s not going to show up under devices.

I bit the bullet and DDU’d my system [Win 10] in [safe mode], installed the latest WHQL drivers, and nothing has changed. I can see the adapter’s entry in the .js file and it being found there via the log file, so not sure why Signal won’t detect it. I also carefully scrutinized my system for any other GPU software like Xtreme Gaming, etc, and it is clean.

Could be an issue with what protocol it’s attempting to use. Gigabyte recently made a handful of changes. I’d report the bug using the bug icon in the app (upper-right corner) or through this link so that the support team can follow up and look at the logs.
