Topic: UCX - why OUT1 is blinking?

Hi,
I have my UCX for 2 years now & from the beginning there was a problem with 'glitch sound' but I guess that's occure because of high CPU and latency/buffer size settings (sometimes glitch sound also occure when I'm pluging the cable into my Mac).

It also takes more time for UCX & TotalMix to connect/find each other & it's not so 'smooth' because sometimes TM asks me if I want to open default template or no & I have to wait for connection much longer than I used to.

But recently I noticed that my led OUT1 is blinking all the time, but only when I am using USB (when using FireWire everything seems to be ok). I have the latest drivers and latest OS. I also checked different USB cables. I also noticed that when I turn off TotalMix, then led stops blinking (this must mean something). I am sure that something's wrong, but really don't know what. I contacted with RME representative in my country & they told me that they can send my RME to Germany to check whats wrong with my unit, but It would take at least 3 weeks & I really can't afford it, plus I think that's must be something wrong with drivers/my mac/settings etc., not with UCX hardware.
Please let me know what could be wrong with it.

OUT1 is MIDI. That means you have MIDI remote enabled in TotalMix FX. Nothing wrong...

Options -> Settings -> Aux. Devices -> Device Type: and I had Octamic XTC instead None. Now everything works perfect, uffffff smile
