MSI MPG x570 Gaming Edge Wifi - Not working

[pnjun]

Installed and runs without errors, but the RGB leds do not change at all. I'm running Debian.

I don't know what other info i should provide, but i'm happy to share the output of any command you need!

Cheers!

Seconding this, having the same board and issue. Was just about to create an issue but then I found this. If there's anything to be done, I can also help with providing info if necessary

Can you confirm your board has an NCT6795D sensors chip? My MSI X570 board (MEG-ACE) has the nct6775 instead.

My board also has the NCT6775 chip according to sensors-detect. Its output is found unknown chip with id 0xd451 which according to reddit yields that chip. However, I read that the x570 boards now use an usb hid device for controlling the leds.

According to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/nct6775.c?h=v5.6.14, you need a newer kernel, the 0xd451 id is not present in kernel 4.19.91 (for exemple) but present in kernel 5.6.14.

Support was added by commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/drivers/hwmon/nct6775.c?h=v5.6.14&id=0599682b826ff7bbf9d5804fa37bcef36b0c9404 so update your kernel or recompile it to firstly have support for your NCT6797D.

Maybe it depends of your MB, on my MSI x570-A pro this is the chipset which controls the leds, not an USB device.
