Lynx Studio E44 does not work with Tracktor Pro3

Soundboyrich

I just upgraded my Tracktor Pro3 and from Tracktor Pro2 version Lynx Studio E44 soundcard VISIO all ways freezes up Tracktor Pro3. Support has no clue how to fix this. I don't use Tracktor Pro3 because of this issue.

I actually ran into this issue with my E44 starting with Traktor 3.6.0 back in 2022 and had created a support ticket for it. Unfortunately the only solution is to use an older version (Traktor 3.5.3 or earlier). If you're using DVS I recommend version 3.1.1.8 (before the switch to Elastique 3.3.0 in Traktor 3.2.0) because the sound of vinyl emulation doesn't sound "smoothed-over" as it sounds in Traktor 3.2.0+, nor does it have the "rubber banding" over-compensation/correction issue that Traktor 3.5.3+ has.

Using the Lynx V3 driver makes it work with Traktor 3.6.0 (and I'm assuming newer, but I haven't tried), but the V3 driver has slightly higher latency than the V2 driver and the audio occasionally devolved into glitchiness and distortion.

If the support team is reading this, my support ticket ID was 3429650 and was prematurely marked as "solved". I will create a follow-up ticket. EDIT: It seems the support ticket system is down and I'm not able to create a follow-up.

On the left is Tracktor Pro3, it cannot setup the Lynx E44. Lynx E44 keep blinking input on/off. Task Manager show Tracktor has crashed. I can only kill Tracktor Pro3 from Task Manager.

Hello,

how does the settings page looks like for the audio device and for the output routing, is the sampling frequency setting the same?

Basically as I said, when I select Lynx ASIO for the Audio configure Tracktor Pro3 hangs. From then on any UI, mouse click, mouse selection is non functional. All I can do is kill Tracktor Pro3 from Task Manager.

I just wanted to add, this is an issue with the Traktor codebase. There's no reason these newer versions of Traktor (3.6.0+) should crash (or more specifically, get into an infinite loop) with the Lynx E44 when it worked with older versions.
