BlackMagic DeckLink on Linux-Zen

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get BlackMagic DeckLink capture cards working with the Linuz-Zen kernel?

The card is picked up

lspci | grep Blackmagic
04:00.0 Multimedia video controller: Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder

The driver service, desktopvideohelper.service from the decklink driver and decklink-SDK from the AURs appear to be enabled and running

sudo systemctl status  DesktopVideoHelper.service
[sudo] password for thedarthtux:
● DesktopVideoHelper.service - DesktopVideo helper daemon

But for whatever reason, the card is not detected. However, in the Linux-LTS kernel (which is still at version 5.15 vs Linux-Zen 6.1.7) the card is detected perfectly fine.

I don't know if there is anything I could do to get the card detected in linux-zen or if I just have to keep switching between kernels and wait for the maybe a driver update or a zen kernel that supports the card again.

My garuda-inxi if it helps in anyway
