not a great sign if u don't get any output via hidtrace.exe or miditrace.exe. won't matter what midi channel is being used then ofc.
if the driver is working then it won't show up as a hid device or probably won't be selectable via hidtrace.exe anyway.
does the controller show up to be selected via both hidtrace and miditrace?
if it was me i'd probably uninstall all drivers and try hidtrace and then it that works work forwards from there.
