Topic: Can't Find total mix anywhere on my Windows 11 system

Hi people.

I have used BabyFace Pro FS on my Windows 10 desktop and everything is fine. I can see the Fireface Icon on the Taskbar and Total Mix in hidden icons. And when I load my DAW (Reaper) everything runs well.


However, I am having troubles on my Windows 11 Laptop. Here I am having intermittent problems. I was not seeing Fireface on the Task Bar and there was no Total Mix in the Hidden Icons area.

I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the drivers several times over in the last few days with limited intermittent success.
Yesterday I was able to run REAPER on it, and hear playback through my headphones, but today, NO.

So I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers again. Now I can see the Fireface Icon in the taskbar but there is no Total Mix to be seen and REAPER although reaper is running and seems to be connected to the BFP, there is no audio coming out of the headphones jack of the BPF.

I have even gone to Settings>Personalization>Taskbar>Other Systems Tray Icons. Here I have found Fireface settings in the hidden Icon menu as well as Total Mix, (which for some reason is listed 4 times) Here, when I toggle the Fireface icon on and off it disappears and reappears in the Taskbar menu, as expected. However, when I try the same thing with the Total Mix Icons (all 4 listings) it nothing appears in the task bar.

Thanks for your help, people.

The file is in windows\system32.
Check Autostart options, it might be disabled for some reason...
