Streaming via Streaming Cable

[DeanDesh]

So I'm having a very bizarre problem and unsure how to fix it.

I have tried to stream PCVR through the streaming cable from my desktop (specs below), and it doesn't work, it pops up with a greyed out "VIVE Streaming" option, whenever I connect the cable.

I tested with the short cable that came with the headset and the option works fine (though unusable due to the cable length).

Now what's bizarre is when I connect the streaming cable to a new gaming laptop, the cable works fine and I can then stream as expected.  Any idea why this would be the case? 

To summarise:

• Desktop Stream via SCable = No
• Desktop Stream via small cable = Yes
• Laptop Stream via both cables = Yes

Desktop Specs:

• Ryzen 5950X
• RTX 3090
• Aorus Master x570 v1.2
• 32 GB Ram

Laptop Specs:

• 12th Gen I7
• RTX 4070
• 16GB Ram

find an option called USB compatibility inside the setting -> advanced. toggle it on, and reboot the deivce upon request. 
It should help you through the Straeaming cable on PC.

Thanks CT, you fixed in one post what a week of tech support couldn't do.  Amazing job!
