Hi everyone just wondering what pc performance everyone uses when they use Traktor pro 3, I had an issue at a venue the other night, I set up my s4 mk3 controller and when I plugged my charger into my laptop it was making a very loud buzzing sound constantly, it only stops when I take the charger out. I use high performance power and was wondering with using this could it be the issue to the buzzing noise as high performance uses more energy

    Sounds like the equipment / power was not grounded. Though I don't know too much about it.

    Did you use a 3 pin plug?

    Usually, if the power supply is issue, you should also be able to hear a slight bzzzz sounds coming out of the supply itself. Definitely try a different power supply if you can get the replacement.

    The s4 mk3 power supply or the power supply for the charger?

    I mean your S4 and Laptop charger, do they have 3 pin? And if you used an extension from the wall, it also needs to be grounded.

    Sounds interesting.

    Because I have noticed that there is some sound crackling when I'm connecting power supply into the windows laptop the one is playing Traktor from battery. But the crackling appears only for a moment. And I think it is somehow related to a switching power modes from battery only to/from power outlet. And maybe it's a Ryzen or hybrid gpu system releated. Maybe Intel, or single VGA system will not have this temporary sound glitch.

    If you're experiencing issues with your power supply, there's a helpful indicator to look out for. In addition to the problem you're facing, you may also hear a slight buzzing sound emanating from the supply itself. To troubleshoot this, it's recommended to try using a different power supply if you have access to a replacement. This will help determine if the power supply itself is the root cause of the issue.

    Do you mean the power supply for the Ac Adapter Charger or the power Supply for my s4 mk3 controller
