Topic: TotalMixFS icon missing after Babyface Pro FS driver install
I am using a Babyface Pro FS on a Dell XPS 13 9310 notebook running Windows 10 Home version 20H2 (OS build 19042.1110).
Everything was working perfectly and then I uninstalled all the Focusrite drivers and software on my machine since I don't need them anymore. I'm not sure if this caused the issue--I can't remember if it stopped working immediately after I did this, but I thought I'd mention it in case it's important.
Anyway, clicking the TotalMixFX icon in the system tray no longer brought up TotalMix FX, so I used Windows Add/Remove Programs to remove the RME driver, then I re-installed the latest driver (driver_usb_win_1212).
Now, when I connect the Babyface Pro FS into my computer, I see the device panel light up, and I can see the meters move when I connect a microphone, but I now longer see the TotalMixFS icon in the Windows system tray. Also, when I click on the Speaker icon on the bottom right of my desktop, I don't see any RME audio output options. I have added and removed the driver several times. I tried installing the driver as administrator, but it didn't make a difference. When I look in "Windows Settings Apps and features," the only RME item I see is "Windows Driver Package - RME Fireface USB (05/04/2021 1.2.12.0). Is this correct?
Any idea on how to fix this problem?
Thanks!
