• Check ARGB Signal: If using motherboard software control, verify the ARGB hub is connected to a 3-pin 5V ARGB header on the motherboard and that the software is correctly configured.
• Try Integrated Controller: If motherboard control fails, try using the physical button on the case or hub to cycle through lighting modes.

7.2 Front Panel USB/Audio Ports Not Working

• Verify Motherboard Connections: Ensure the USB 3.0, USB-C, and audio headers from the front panel are securely connected to the correct pins on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for header locations.
• Verificați driverele: Ensure you have installed the latest chipset and audio drivers for your motherboard.
