XPS M1730 LightFX and Windows 7

Although I doubt many people use it, I still find myself attracted to the LightFX plugin when playing music. It makes things more entertaining =-P


My issue is that in Windows 7 when I use LightFX Plugin 1 or 2, the lights simply 'flicker' really weakly. They don't change color or anything. LightFx3 works fine.

I was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and has been able to fix it? Does anyone know where maybe an updated version of LightFX is available? (it's nightmare to track down!)

Any help appreciated, thanks

 

No such luck on an updated version of LightFX. Its bundled with Quickset and to my knowledge the module has not been updated in a long time (think M1710 days). With the move to Alienware for the Dell gaming line, I doubt we will ever see an update. Quickset will still be updated since all the other lappies utilize it, however don't count on LightFX.

 

That's such a shame, it's one of the reasons I got suckered into the M1730 =-P

I decided to send Dell a mail seeing if they would consider it, especially since I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who use it =-P

 

Sorry for the double post, just thought I'd let you guys know what Dell got back to me with:

I doubt it severely to be honest - I daresay that's a lie but we'll see how it goes. =-D

 

lol @ dell. Let's see an updated Sigmatel/IDT audio driver for the beast... kk thx.

 

Lol some chance BatBoy. Although I love that they emailed me it, I now have solid proof to shove in their face when they don't update it =-)
