S4 mk3 sound muffled & suddenly not working

Basshead · April 2022

Hi Forum.

I plugged in my S4 and suddenly no sound coming through the channels. The sound came through when I turned the gains to max for about 10 seconds, then crackles and fades out again. I'm getting the same sort of muffled sound you get when you've blown a channel on an amp.

My set up at home is only using headphones. I re-installed drivers, checked sample rates, buffers. No difference. Can anyone help? My laptop sound card is working fine. Just when I switch to traktor its muffled and then completely fades out

Thanks

Hey Nico,

Thanks for the reply. Fixed the issue now. Bose headphones had run out of charge! I didn't think they needed power as they also come with a standard headphone wire. Apparently they still need some charge in them!

Thanks for reaching out though.

This could sound like a power supply issue. Do you power your S4 only with USB?

Ps. If you work with the NI guys can we have an easy sampler function back like we used to in pro 2?

Pro 3 is pants for samples.

Cheers
