Sound Forge Pro 18 (Build 21) - flickering hardware meters

The hardware meters (in my case, Microsoft Sound Mapper) flickers to the point where I can't even use it. I've had to use the Channel Meters instead.

Welcome to the Magix Sound Forge users community and seasons greetings @JTJack27.
I cannot duplicate the hardware meter behavior and do not recall other users with the same issue. Have you tried different meter settings i.e., meter type, range, preset, ect, (right-click the meter).
If changing the meter's settings do not resolve the issue, try resetting Sound Forge and clearing the cache: 'File> "Reset all preferences and clear cached data"

In addition to @rraud suggestions, ensure that Windows system sounds is turned off/disabled and any connected or internal microphone is not 'live' when not recording.
