poor headphone volume output on S4 mk3

minimodz

Hi, I'm using the latest version of Traktor Pro 4 (4.11.23), and a S4 mk3 controller.

Does anyone else find the headphone output very lame? I'm using Technics EAH-DJ1200 headphones, which have an impedance of 45 Ω, but unless I have red lights showing on the levels on the controller, the headphone volume is usually up to the max.
My old S8 controller used to be really loud—about halfway was more than enough—but since moving to the S4mk3, it's now flat out.

I have checked the firmware update on the controller, and it says its up to date. (Controller is also less than 1yr old).

Attached is a screenshot of the settings if it's any help.

Hey,

Have you checked the headphone volume in Traktor itself?

You can set the the volume there, just look at the Mixer view.

Maybe it‘s tuned down in this setting.

you can adjust it with no controller plugged, but when the controller is plugged in, you cannot adjust it.

All NI controllers with a mixer inbuilt (and headphone controls) deactivate the software controls. This is normal behaviour.
