Topic: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Hi guys / support,

I have a strange issue with TotalMix 0.984 (driver version 1.028, hardware revision 186, Babyface Silver, Win8 x64) - in which the TotalMix GUI keeps intermittently flickering.

Can anyone else please confirm this?

That is a really outdated version...update the driver please...

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Sure - I've now updated.

However the issue is still occurring.

I don't believe it was a prior update that caused this, it just start happening all of a sudden.

Disable D2D in the TotalMix FX preferences.

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Do we know what caused it?

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Your graphics card/its drivers are outdated and don't support current Windows technology properly...

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

That sounds odd - it's a pretty new card, and am pretty sure the drivers are up to date.....

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

I have the same problem with D2D.
Drivers have installed the most recent.
This problem only with RME! So no need to blame on the drivers.

Fix please. It looks just terrible.

Disable D2D in the TotalMix FX preferences and the problem is gone.

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Daniel,

You think this is normal?
I buy the product. Install the latest drivers.
And in the end I see blink with a frequency of 300 fps and choppy audio.
Next I go to the forum looking for a solution to the problem of waste my time...
And you are telling me - "well, uncheck and no problem!"

Perhaps you are not by default include not fully proven features?
Moreover, this option does not give me anything!

Be more professional!
RME - has always been famous for stable software, but here...

Choppy audio? Then you have a different problem.

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Redrawing (blinking) occurs with huge speed. and I understand that system resources are very busy and sound lags .
Disable the option D2D solves both problems. But only after a reboot. As the option cant immediately turns off

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

This has nothing to do with untested features or so, and the fact that unticking the option only shows that there is an issue with your graphics card. D2D is not an RME driver feature. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct2D
If your graphics card can not handle this, disable it and forget the issue...

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

I have a varied soft (many times more difficult than TotalMix) and no problems with graphics and graphics card.

Thoroughly test the compatibility of some functions...

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Your refusal to accept facts does not alter these facts.... If you have no other issues with your graphics card, then it seems no other software you use employs the D2D API the way Totalmix does. This is not related to whether your software is more "difficult" than TM (which is really just a GUI, not a software as such). D2D is not a Totalmix functionality as such, please read the Wikipedia article. Compatibility issues are therefore not RME related and can be solved by disabling D2D. You really are directing your criticism at the wrong target.

Don't get me wrong.
I am a customer of wonderful RME product.
And I don't care what the D2D,DirectX etc I don't want to read Wikipedia.
I want the software installed from your site. worked on my PC immediately and without problems!
Without any or proceedings with Nvidia products and etc

p.s I have quite modern and updated computer

Re: TotalMix 0.984 flickering

Our software can not solve problems of your graphics card or its driver. It can only work correctly if the rest of the system does so, too. Unrealistic expectations and ignoring my links to more detailed information are not helpful.

Fortunately, we even offer you a simple workaround to avoid these problems.
