Show Fixtures not working in 'Operate' but they do in 'Design'

Hello - I am hoping someone can help me figure out what happened in my 'Show' view...
I have created a simple show using a song I imported as a .WAV file. As you can see in the screenshot below, when I chose a section for my lighting scene, the fixture monitor (and the hardware attached) show the desired red output.

However, when switching to Operate mode and playing the show, the fixtures do not light (as evidenced again in the fixture monitor).

What is frustrating is that I did have output working as expected (previously), but now I get nothing.

My setup is a Windows 10 laptop, DMXKing ultraDMX Micro, and a DMX512 Decoder driving a small LED strip (for testing).

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you! :D

In operate mode you are supposed to start the show from virtual console widgt, e.g.button. Add button to VC, assign the show to it, switch to operate mode and push the button.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately that didn't work, but I did finally figure out what happened.

Somehow, the Infinite Fade In checkbox got set. Not sure how, but once I disabled it, it worked just fine.
