It looks like this was fixed this in this commit: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/commit/22acdd1fed976392698753b349b74233e8e319ed but it didn't make it in before the .6 release.

So, if you update OpenRGB to .61 (the latest pipeline), it should work.

BTW thank you @kamaaina for implementing that, it should prevent more of these type of issues from occurring after OpenRGB .7

[jath03]

Also, for future reference, this is the exact same issue as #29, #18, and (possibly) #32.

[subterfugium]

I did only check open issues and to closed. Sorry for that. I will build latest openrgb and try again.

[subterfugium]

Yes it does work after compiling latest openrgb.
