Sound problem with Traktor Kontrol S4 Mk3

Marucs Dahlqvist

When i was playing at a club this saturday i had a strange bug with my S4. When loading a new track in a deck and hitting play or cue with the fader down the sound leaked as if the fader was fully open/in top. If I loaded a track and moved the fader up a few millimeters and down again the sound didn’t leak. Seems like a software bug. Anyone with the same issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hopefully no drinks have been spilled in the unit. That sounds like a tipical behavior.

Can you also see that the channel fader moves up and down in the screen?

I haven’t had any drinks or other things in it. The fader in the software moves as I remember it. I always have a deck saver lid on it when not using to protect from dust.

I have the same issue. The fader comes up and down on the screen as well definitely.

I never had this issue until i recently imported a different TSI file. Now i can' t seem to get rid of it, even though i've restored defaults and updated the traktor software.

On a newer laptop with newer traktor version i don't havce the issue, so i know it's not the controller/

this fixed it.
