In the past couple weeks, I started having massive issues with reliability with Traktor.
I play about 5-10 gigs a months. A couple weeks ago, I ran into an issue, where the sound would completely stop out of no where, and then start playing again in 3-5 seconds. This is obviously a problem if you have a crowd thats in the groove, and the music stops.
Last night, the music either froze and stopped playing, or the decks reset completely. This happened at least 5-6 times in a two hour span.
I noticed that when the decks stopped playing, the audio driver switched from S4Mk3 Asio (Exclusive) to (Shared). This was characterized by much lower volume, and all of this happened automatically within 3-5 seconds. Also, in a very odd occurence, the lights on the actual decks were either completely missing for a period of a couple minutes after the restart, or partially showing. ALl of the lights on the headphone cue buttons were gone. The 4 quick effect buttons were not lighting up at all, The LED screens on each side that show loops etc were completely off, but turned back on after a couple minutes.
I can't attribute this to any change in the system directly. I updated windows 11 yesterday, but this problem was occuring two weeks prior.
Even though the decks werent reflecting the availability of the effects, I could still use the knobs and buttons, and eventually (after 3-5 minutes) lights would start coming back online.
I don't really know the proper questions to ask, so maybe you guys can help me uncover whats causing this. I have used traktor for years and years with no issue, and can't have this effect my business.
