Can't map DMX output to Gig Hog widget in Hog PC v5.0.1 and 5.1.0 on some laptops, including Alienware
Issue
I am using an Alienware laptop (or other) and I can't map DMX outputs to my Gig Hog widget because it is grayed out.
Explanation of Issue
For some unknown reason, the .inf file doesn't seem to install properly for the Gadget/Widget on certain hardware. This occurs in v5.0.1 and v5.1 but will be resolved in a future release. So far, only Alienware laptops seem to behave this way, but there may be other brands as well.
Solution
- Close Hog PC
- Navigate to this folder in Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\ETC\HogPC\drivers\gadget
- Locate the gadget.inf file
- Right click, select install
- Open Hog PC and launch show. Your widgets should be mapped or selectable to map
