Lines after playback in Sound Forge & Vegas

MAGIX COMMUNITY: Please Help!

Whether in sound forge or vegas playback, I get these annoying trailing lines. They don't seem to affect anything as far as quality of the project, but I can't seem to stop them from trailing. Please advise. I never got them on my old slow PC. I got a new faster PC and I'm experiencing this issue. Help!

This is what it looks like. Can anyone help with this? I never had this problem on my slower computer and I just bought a much faster computer with 32mb ram with an Nvidia graphics card. Why the trailing lines? They're so annoying! 😒

I can't see the image.... too tiny. How about PrtSc and then open Paint, paste and then crop.

Also, provide the information required to help you by reading this POST paying attention to "B" and "C".

Or easier still use the Windows Snipping Tool.

A quick search on the MAGIX forum (keywords: sound forge lines) came up with the same issue being raised in 2020: https://www.magix.info/us/forum/odd-lines-after-playback-courser-in-sound-forge-9-pc--1252881/#ca1831169

While there was no feedback from the OP as to whether or not either of the two suggestions worked, the 2nd suggestion was that the problem could be due to a GPU driver problem. Do you have the Nvidia Studio driver installed rather than the Game Ready driver? And if Studio, is the latest Studio driver (526.98) installed?

I have the Nvidia Game Ready Driver installed. I confirmed this by checking the GeForce Experience application. Should I have the Studio Driver instead?

-JSJ
UPDATE:
I've installed the Studio Driver as suggested by NVIDIA here:
The November NVIDIA Studio Driver provides optimal support for the latest new creative applications including Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve and MAGIX Vegas Pro. In addition, this NVIDIA Studio Driver also introduces support for the new GeForce RTX 4080.

Everything seems to have resolved itself, but I'm still getting lines after playback on Sound Forge 16. I'm not sure why, but all other apps seem fine (Vegas Pro, An Older Sound Forge 10, Older Vegas 11). I'm going to try a few things to see if I get any other results, but at least there's some improvement.

If anyone has other suggestions please let me know! Thanks for all the feed back folks!

The Studio driver is better tested so I'd say yes.

"Trailing lines in playback timeline" solution for me:

I updated my NVIDIA Game Ready driver to the Studio Driver. That helped all of my applications except one:
Vegas Pro 11
Sound Forge Pro 10
Vegas Pro 20.0
Sound Forge Audio Studio 16 (DID NOT Cooperate)

I dug deeper and went into 
C:\Program Files\SOUND FORGE\SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 16

Right clicked on AudioStudio16, selected properties and then select compatability tab and almost all the way down select "Change High DPI Settings". Check the boxes that say:

-Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in Settings.

and

-Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by: Application 

Hit OK
Then hit APPLY (very important step)

Then hit OK again

After doing this it fixed the trailing lines that remained in Sound Forge Audio Studio 16.

I'm still puzzled as to why Sound Forge Audio Studio 16 was the only application that required this additional step. All the other applications, including an older version of Sound Forge (Pro 10), only required the Nvidia Studio Driver update to solve the issue of the trailing lines in playback. 

All said, I'm satisfied and grateful for the MAGIX community forum here. Big thanks to:

Thanks for posting your solution and welcome to the forums!

Your sleuthing fixed the same problem for me with SoundForge 13. TBH, I really hadn't paid much attention to it. I rarely use SoundForge for editing, mainly recording.
