Can’t get OpenRGB to Change Anything (lemmy.ml)

I have the latest stable version. I cannot get the program to actually change any LEDs off my MSI mobo. I also have Corsair RAM and that works just fine. I have 3 RGB fans and two strips all chained to a single ARGB header. The system of course starts with Rainbow but nothing I do changes anything, no matter how I resize the zone (I believe I have either 44 or 32 total LEDs.) Even in Mystic Light itself it doesn’t work! ORGB recognizes my MS board fine on USB; but no changes actually happen. I have a Z490A-PRO. Any help would be much appreciated; I’m one of the many that never want to open the bloated MSI center ever again.

If it isn't working in MSI center then it sounds like maybe a corrupt firmware on the LED controller on your motherboard. Is there a firmware updater in MSI center? I know people have mentioned newer boards getting automatically updated. MSI's older RGB controller firmware had bricking issues and we were able to reflash these older motherboards using the JT1 header and a Nuvoton NuLink adapter, but those bricked boards the USB device never even showed up to the rest of the system. I haven't heard of this specific issue before where it shows up but is uncontrollable. Have you tried using pipeline version of OpenRGB?
