Wallpaper Engine + iCue problems [SOLVED]

[AllGunzBlazzin]

After watching a few videos on youtube showing that products of icue, razer synapse, and asus aura working with wallpaper engine, but i can't for the life of me get it to work. All im able to get is the moving wallpaper reacting with sound.

I have the following:
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro Ram (4x8gb)
Corsair Commander Pro
Corsair RGB Light Strips
Corsair iCUE

Razer Deathadder Elite (Mouse)
Razer Cynosa Chroma (Keyboard)
Razer Synapse
Razer Connect

ASUS Aura case lights and rgb strip

I purchased wallpaper engine to get more out of my rbg lighting, specifically a music reactive function. After watching many videos seeing that it could be done, I cant find out how to get it done.

Please Help.

I've already "Enabled SDK" inside of iCUE software as well.

So, specifically for the RAM you need to enable software control in iCUE:

Other than that, make sure Razer Synapse 3 is installed and that it's up-to-date, the same for iCUE. If you had Razer Synapse 2 (or older) installed previously, this can be the source of problems, let me know if that is the case, then you might have to do a clean re-installation of all Razer software until it starts working.

Can you use this wallpaper for testing purposes:

That said, the last Razer Synapse update actually introduced some issues for some users which seems to be a problem with the latest Razer Synapse drivers, we are currently working with Razer on resolving this:

However, your iCUE lights should work just fine.

As someone who actually knows this person, I can vouch for their sleeping self that they do indeed have Razer Synapse 3 installed, up to date, and with the proper modules to for software control on a Razer Chroma Enabled Device.

I, personally, am having problems with Razer stuff (same stuff as him, almost) but I've already read that thread, so I won't bother for the time being, and I let him know as well. He wants audio visual capabilities for his RAM and a desk build he wants to do, using a Corsair RGB controller.

Yeah, the Synapse situation is indeed a bit unfortunate, I have just written Razer another email about this a few hours ago, that's all I can do for now unfortunately . Though it should still work, it should just show crazy colors, so the error description does not fully match up here which is indeed a bit odd.

If all software is up-to-date, could you run our scan tool and share the log file as described here:

Yeah, I've got you.

Quick aside mr. Dev man, but have you heard of any conflicts with VR Chat?

The wallpaper you were using at the time of creating the log file does not support RGB hardware as it's a web-based wallpaper that has not been programmed by the author to support them. All Scene and Vidoe wallpapers support RGB hardware out of the box (like the wallpaper I linked above). Can you check if it really does not work with another wallpaper of the "Scene" or "Video" type.

I have not heard of any issues with it. Do you have any particular issues in mind? When in doubt, specific program issues can always be solved by setting Wallpaper Engine to "Stop (free memory)" whenever a specific .exe is launched. You can do so in the "Application rules" overview in the "Performance" tab of the settings.

Thank you greatly for taking the time to not only read my problem, but for also offering help and guidance. I have found the setting of full control in the iCUE software and will give the Wallpaper you suggested for testing right now and report back the results.

Thank you again!

UPDATE:

Okay so after enabling the full control setting in iCUE you pointed out, I did in fact get progress.

With the testing wallpaper you posted, the corsair ram does respond with the screen but not to my sound which I assume is why you said for testing.

Now that I've got that setting changed, I've found two wallpapers that my ram reacts to with sound which is great, however the colors are dull and slow but it does work. One of the Wallpapers i found (Corsair Audio Reactive) while it is dull and slow as well, my Razer keyboard and mouse do actually work with as well.

While I've yet to achieve exactly what I was hoping for, thanks to your help I have made progress. Now I just need to find a more vibrant and more reactive wallpaper set up to my liking.

UPDATE:

One more for the night, mainly to help others who may come across this discussion with the same problem. I have found a wallpaper that meets my desires of more vibrant and reactive led control for both Corsair and Razer products.

Glad to hear you got it all working!

[Ephysona]

I'm glad you got the problem solved, Gunz! As for Tim, nevermind me, it wasn't a problem with my WPE install, it was a problem with my windows install, lol.
