Audio Visualisation Graphics

[Hicksy]

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me what the circular graphic thing to the right of this photo is and, more importantly, how to get rid of it?

 

Thanks

That doesn't look like it's coming from DCS. Were you running any other software besides DCS at the time of making that screenshot?

That look like the all seing eye when "game mode" or something is enabled in the settings.

Hi to all that responded.

Nothing new is running in the background, that hasn't always been there.

The graphic first appears on the main options screen (Mission, Mission Editor, Campaigns etc.) and then stays there regadless of what I do. The pattern that's produced follows the position of where the sound originates.

I've disabled/quit every app that's shown in Task Manager to no avail.

The history is that it was working fine, but due to lack of storage space, the latest update failed. I then transferred the entire ED folder to a new drive, and the graphic appeared when I ran DCS. I then removed the app, and deleted the entire ED folder. I then reinstalled DCS from scratch, but the graphic remains!

As @razo+r said, I have not seen this in DCS from time-to-time (if).

I will say why not post the dcs.log so that people can take look at it and find something.

Razo+r...you were absolutely correct! It's linked to Alienware's Sound app, not that I've ever touched a setting in it.

Anyway, Audio Visualisation graphic is now a thing of the past. Many thanks for your help.

That IS a waste of time. Always perform a repair. 

My first comment was sort of a joke, but it does look like what one could see in old game modes, which was a setting.

Now, why didn't you write this in the OP, because now I remember where I've seen it before. When others asked. I think it's something with your sound cards software. Which sound card and what software does it use? 

Cheers! 

EDIT: LOL, sniped exactly when I pressed send.
