Everything seems to be working perfectly except when I go to use my Astro C40 controller, it doesn't connect. It shows up in device manager under "other devices". It works fine on my laptop but on my laptop when it's plugged in it shows up under "Xbox 360 Peripherals". It also shows up in the Astro configuration software.

When I plug it into my PC, it shows up in "Other devices" but it will not show up in Astro configuration software. It tells me to connect to a wired connection and then when I do, it just shows a screen saying "Firmware 0.78.0" and nothing happens. I went into device manager, and under "Other devices" it says "Astro C40" with a yellow exclamation mark. When I search automatically for drivers, it doesn't find any. On another thread here it advised if you "browse" for drivers and manually select Xbox 360 Peripherals then it will work but when I do that, still nothing happens.

I feel like I'm missing something simple. If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it!
