Aether Monitor Light Bar brightness reduced - More power required

My new Aether Monitor Lightbar is installed and working correctly but it’s giving me a message in Synapse that brightness is reduced to ensure its functionality, and that more power is required (3A). I have it plugged into my motherboards back panel (Asus Z690-E Gaming WiFi) in a USB-C connector (USB-C 3.2 gen 2). Any ideas why the lightbar wouldn't be getting the power it needs?

I have the exact same issue ever since installing Synapse v4.  Was working fine in v3.

Hi, I am getting the exact same thing with my Aether. as soon as i installed Synapse 4, the light bar needs more power. It was plugged into a USB-C 3.2 Gen2 on the back of my PC. Now its plugged directly into a 20W official Apple brick. Still the same message.

Hey guys,

If you continue to experience the issue with your light bar, please send me a PM with the serial number so I can verify it in our system and check for applicable workarounds that might address the power notification.
