Plugin Initialization error

[YangQF2002]

Hey, I have the 2021 G15 model; 3060 with 5900HS.
I am coming from a fresh windows 10 iso. I have installed asus system control interface v2 (via e-support folder) and armoury crate control interface 1.0.0.13 (via windows update). I did not install control interface v3 since the AsusOptimisation folder that it created did not have the atkwmiacpi64.sys driver.

I do not have Armoury crate or MyAsus installed.

I have also disabled all asus-related services and tasks.
Disabled-services:
Disabled-tasks:

However, when i try to run G15Manager.exe as admin, it fails to work. I have attached the log file below.
Log file: G15Manager.log

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This seems like a great replacement for Armoury Crate that I would like to tryout. For now I am using atrofac for fan control which seems to work well.

Thanks for reading!

Hi!
It seems that for some reason it is failing to check the microphone status.

2023/01/25 16:08:20 [controller] error initializing: Cannot check microphone muted status
[controller] plugin initializtion error
github.com/NeilSeligmann/G15Manager/controller.(*Controller).initialize

runtime.goexit
C:/hostedtoolcache/windows/go/1.17.1/x64/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:1581

This could be bypassed by returning nil in the function doCheckMute:

G15Manager/cxx/plugin/volume/control.go

Lines 115 to 128 in 909bf4f

	func (c *Control) doCheckMute() error {
	c.mu.Lock()
	defer c.mu.Unlock()
	ret := C.SetMicrophoneMute(1, 0)
	switch ret {
	case -1:
	return fmt.Errorf("Cannot check microphone muted status")
	default:
	c.isMuted = int(ret) == 1
	log.Printf("volCtrl: current microphone mute is %v\n", c.isMuted)
	return nil
	}
	}

I've been thinking of adding a configuration for disabling plugins (Volume, Keyboard, etc), but I currently have no free time to do so. If you have the know-how you could change that function and see if it works for you.

Try leaving the service Armoury Crate Control Interface enabled and see if that works.
I have that service enabled and in manual mode.
