Hello!
I know it is an old issue but I would be glad to know how many Audya owners experience screen flickering.
In my Audya it looks like screen refreshing or something like that, no extra side effects, but I still have strange feeling about that.
It would be interesting to know about users without that problem, too.
Thanks,
Regards,
Luka

Luka, I think they all do that, including mine.

Don't know what causes it?

mine too

mine flickers too...

maybe AJ's update will fix this?

i wonder if there are ANY Audya's that don't ever flicker, basically screen goes blank for a second, then back to normal...

AJ, any thoughts on this?

Mine does as well. It seems to get worse the more load u put on it. The more that is going on the more it blinks. Audya is a great machine but the hardware and cpu is ancient and that is contributing to almost all the problems.

David

can the hardware be upgraded?

i'd be willing to pay a bit to have it speedy, more memory, no flicker...etc

maybe AJ's AJAMSONIC chip/mem. update will fix these issues?

AJ's fix these issues? I think is too dreaming! lol

You expext the Audya NOT to flicker?
You're dreamin' my friend. Lol.

on a more serious note

i would love if my AUDYA did NOT flicker

He Guys,

Don't forget me, my Audya flickers too!

I don't want to be left out, I don't want mine fixed, I love it flicking, if it didn't flicker I would think some was wrong.

Anyway if it stops flickering something else might go wrong!

Just leave it and be thankful it does flicker its part of the Ketron Audya fun pack, if it stops flickering it will probably be dead!

Thank you all for your posts!
It looks then this is a common issue, fortunatelly without serious performance impact (except annoyance )

Luka

AJ

do you know what causes the flicker?
Can it be fixed?

same problem here... and couting...
the dream is becoming a nightmare.

Hi Guys,

I´m sorry, but no "flickering" at all with my Audya 5 so far. Sometimes a bit "slow reaction" when pressing a button, but definetely no flickering !

BTW: A 80 MHz CPU isn´t hat fast at all

Snoopy, no flickering?
you look at screen alot?

that's weird cuz i have AUDYA4, which i think would have the same brain as the AUDYA5

we have to find out what's different in Snoopy's A5

maybe different HD from the rest of ours? faster processor, faster chips, better RAM?

No flickering on my Audya either

Ketron Audya
presents:
"The Mystic Flickering"

So some flicker...some don't

hhhmmmm....

You have tried to use the vga port to a computer monitor?

Hi,

I bought it in October 2010 in Germany.

HD-Type is a

Seagate LD 25.2, Typ : ST980210A, FW: 3.ALC, Date : 09045

Maybe it does not flicker because I bought it in the south of Germany, 250 kms from the Italian boarder ( I´m living more than 1.000 kms away form that boarder )

I didn´t see a flicker either when I tried it via my PC-monitor

@Leezone : You forgot as a possible reason my age . But I´m 45 and I can see the flickering of flourescent lamps ( im Germany we have 50 Hertz frequency instead of 60 in the US ).
So my eys are still good, even though I need glasses meanwhile

maybe US models flicker and European don't

how about we ALL list our names
where we are from
AUDYA model,
and if it flickers?


leezone
New Jersey, USA
AUDYA 4
YES it flickers...

next person please

Snoopy ( Holger )

Northern Germany

Auday 5

NO, it doesn´t flicker

BTW: Maybe it flickers due to the fact that US Power-supply frequency is 60 Hertz ( afaik 110 Volts ? ).
In most European countrys it´s 50 Hertz ( 230 Volts ).

If we play videos in NTSC-version ( 29,97 frames per second ) they sometimes flicker on screen, the PAL-versions ( 25 fps ) don´t.

next person please

In france it's Flickering too

UK NOT flickering

It´s no big deal they don´t flicker all the time even if they do flicker, just now and again,just now and again, just now and again.

Tony

would you buy a new car,
have your headlights flicker,
and not complain about it?

i think it is a big deal, that should be addressed...

Tye
Audya5
Dallas, TX
I think it does a bit

leezone,

If I bought a car and lights flickered yes I would take it back and they would fix it, the Audya screen flicker as nothing to do with country voltages, its software and car lights are not controlled by sotware and Ketron don´t make cars.

You will all just have to live with flicker, if you ain´t got flicker then your luck, if you have got flicker at least you didn´t pay extra for it so its a bonus, keep on flickering Leezone, if you don´t want flicker and you got flicker sell the board.

Happy Days

Tony

Tony

you say it's software?
we all have same software on our AUDYAS
so why we have different behaviors?

i think it's hardware

Guess I might as well report also...
No flicker in mine in NW Indiana USA, even had a computer monitor hooked to it for awhile... no flicker.
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Leezone,

I think its software because its processor and software driving the screen if there is lots going on the screen
will flicker, mine doesn´t do it all time just now and again sometime you will miss it doing it, I will bet the is certqain times when it does it, but we can´t spot what it is, it may be in a certain menu, with a certain style loaded, I still don´t think it is voltage. We will need to live with it, it was hardware and the kb had to go back the Ketron it would break them.

Leezone how bad does yours flicker mine only does it now and then, perhaps once every half hour.

Ahhhh, but Tony, how can your Audya screen flicker "now and then" ?
After you got T4 added to your collection, I guess it's hardly powered on as much that any flickering is possible at all...

Jonny,

I put the Audya under the T4 so I can´t see the Audya screen flickering, so it may be flickering all the time know and I wouldn´t know.

Cheers Jonny

Tony

i have figured out how to make the flickering go away and stop forever
simple, just turn off the AUDYA, and keep it off

Thats one way Leezone, there must be others, i will be back.


Tony

Second solution :

Use an opaque board or paper, cut it that way that it fit´s in the Audyas display and drop it there.

So your Audya is ON, and you can PLAY and there´ll be no flickering

Snoopy...genius

another solution:

stare straight into a strobe light for about 5 minutes before your gig
then turn on your AUDYA & just play as usual,
you won't realize where the flicker is coming from
