Topic: Totalmix Flickering on MacOS

I have discovered a strange issue with Total Mix and MacOS (Ventura 13.6.3).

Sometimes (and it seems random), Totalmix window will be flickering like a faulty HDMI cable.
I can upload a video to demonstrate.

Totalmix is the only window that does this on my Mac- everything else is normal (Mac Studio Ultra M2 with external 32inch monitor).

Only workaround is to quit Totalmix and run it again.

Has anyone experienced this?

Sure you have the latest Totamix version 1.93 ?

Drop into applications folder replace the old version.

Re: Totalmix Flickering on MacOS

What you describe is not new and just needs a gentle resize at the window border, not a full restart. And with the latest version it might not show up at all.

Thank you Matthias (and Waedi)

Yes I have the latest version (1.93) and it still happens.

Good to know about the resize- handy to know this workaround.

Re: Totalmix Flickering on MacOS

Hi there, I'm experiencing an issue where the green meters flicker in totalmix. I am on version 1.96 with the latest Driverkit driver and firmware. The resize workaround above does not fix the issue.

System specs

Macbook Pro M1 Max.
MacOS Sonoma 14.7
HDSPe MADI FX Rev 2
Totalmix 1.96

Any reports or workarounds for this issue?

Thanks!

It looks like 1.97 is still in beta. I will wait until a stable release is available as this is a work machine.

Re: Totalmix Flickering on MacOS

Here is DriverKit driver 1.13 which fixes the TM FX level meter flickering under Sonoma and Sequoia on our systems. Please give it a try..
