Noisy sound NI Audio 2 DJ

**schaap** · 10-09-2009, 02:42 PM

Hey guys

Today recieved my brand new Audio 2 DJ sound card. When i connect it to my macbook the sound it gives is very noisy (through the noise you can hear the song a little bit in the back ground) I did everyting the instruction manual described... I connected the soundcard to a adapter powerd usb-hub.
I got the same noisy sound trough my speakers as my headphone (chanels a and b). The sound also stays the same when i listen to Itunes, so i dont think it has anything to do with Traktor...

Help

How high (or low) is your latency? Try setting it a little bit higher or change your buffer size. (set it higher). Does the noise reduce or is it still as bad?

This may be a ground loop. I have the same issue using the Audio 2 with external monitors. Try running laptop on battery power.

I just picked up one of these. Works great.

It doenst seem to make any difference when i run my laptop on battery power... The Audio 2 also gives the sign only channel A (my stereo) is working and my headphone aint.. (using Itunes right now)

turning up my latency in traktor does effect my sound quality in a possitive way. But it still crackles.. when i exit traktor the soundcards keeps stuttering sound... like a crashing pc...
Outside traktor in Itunes for excample the sound is still awfull (because i cant change the latency in osx off course)

This soundcards is really working on my nerves..

Are you using ASIO drivers? If not then try that (also with iTunes)

well i installed the drivers which came with the Audio 2 DJ. When i google for asio drivers for mac osx i cant find none... Is it possible to switch drivers on a mac?
