Decks stop responding

[Pending]

This just started the other day but when I'm attempting to be the sickest DJ going the decks stop working. The decks still light up like everything is fine but won't do anything in VIrtual DJ. I thought it might have been the cable but I brought a new cable but that didn't help. Need some serious help.

need some details:

model / specs of computer

OS of computer

version of VDJ

what controller

[Pending]

HP laptop running windows 7 2Gb ram 2.3Ghz Processor VDJ 7.0 and the controller is a DJ tech imix http://www.djtechpro.com/product_detail.asp?product_id=242&cate_id=63&subcate_id=105

Did the controller work at all, or did it just stop working after a while?

[Pending]

They worked and now when I plug it in sometimes it's not recognized or it is recognized and just work for a random amount of time

Sounds like something is happening in the background. Make sure your computer is trying to do something else like looking for a wirleless network etc

Does it happen when you try and load the same music file?

Does it happen when you turn something on and off in the room (ie power issue).

Keep experimenting and see if you can identify what it it may be that causes it to crash.

The other option is to take the controller to the seller back and swap it for another.

No warranty and it's worked fine for a month and has not just decided to stop

Try connecting it too another PC with VDJ installed. If it still doesn't work then it's probably the controller itself. Might be something like a dry solder joint. I've heard about folks opening up their devices and heating the circuit boards with a hair dryer to fix this problem.

Meh just decided to buy new ones

[Mitch]

I'd say it's more your computer setup than the controller tbh

[Pending]

But I don't understand it's worked fine for a month

Have you reinstalled vdj/the drivers?

Double check your settings in vdj, could highly likely be a sound selection issue, does it have inbuilt or use the pc's soundcard.

Make sure you plug the device in before you start virtual dj or it wont work.

Don't worry you will have issue with the bcd lol, take note of how you set up asio and your sound card that used to give me grief.

[Pending]
