Hi,

I just bought a HyperX in Mexico. It has an unsupported vendor/pid pair. Output from lsusb contains:

Bus 001 Device 073: ID 0951:16df Kingston Technology HyperX QuadCast

I made local changes to devio.c and devio.h to allow the device to be found. That worked. But I couldn't get the color to change. Some output:

brandi@brandithinkpad:~/Downloads/QuadcastRGB$ killall quadcastrgb
quadcastrgb: no process found
brandi@brandithinkpad:~/Downloads/QuadcastRGB$ sudo quadcastrgb blink --verbose
Arguments parsed successfully.

brandi@brandithinkpad:~/Downloads/QuadcastRGB$ sudo quadcastrgb blink --verbose

brandi@brandithinkpad:~/Downloads/QuadcastRGB$ killall quadcastrgb

Any ideas? Let me know if I can help.

Check the microphone model

Do you have Quadcast or Quadcast S ? Your lsusb output reports that it is a regular Quadcast, which doesn't have RGB functionality; it is always red.

If you are sure that it is Quadcast S, then read further.

Check the other VID:PID

It seems that quadcastrgb fails to send packets to the device. It might be because a wrong one is used. Quadcast S is actually detected as two separate devices, one for audio and the other for rgb. My lsusb output looks like this:

$ lsusb | grep "QuadCast S"
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0951:171f Kingston Technology HyperX QuadCast S
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0951:171d Kingston Technology HyperX QuadCast S

Where 0951:171f is the right ID to use. The verbose output for the right device should look similar to this:

Glad it's clear now. Come back if you get Quadcast S! :)
