Topic: Driver doesnt load or do anything

Windows 10 64 bit ,  hdspe Raydat

My driver would load automatically but clicking on total mixx wouldnt do anything. It was working yesterday - today nothing . So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled the new drivers. Nothing - the driver doesnt even load automatically anymor eand clicking totalmix does nothing. Any help ?

Re: Driver doesnt load or do anything

Hello,

what does "load automatically" refer to? Which driver exactly did you install and how so?

Normally when I start windows the driver and totalmix icons are in the systray in the bottom right hand corner of windows. Also the driver shows up  in any audio software under drivers. It does not do that at the moment.

This means the card is not seen by windows (or mac?) Look in device manager. If it is not there, reseat the card, try a different slot or clean the pcie contact with an eraser gum.

audio devices.
If it is malfunctioning, which is also possible, there could be a yellow unknown device somewhere.

certain motherboards also have some sort of "Early PCIe Delay" setting in BIOS,
which basically means if a PCIe device does not draw enough power at boot (such as RME HDSPe cards), it disables entire PCIe slot before operating system starts booting (!)
