I have a Kontrol S3. When using Virtual Dj, the microphone works fine on my Mac. However, when I use Windows there is a delay. Anyone experience this and know of a fix?

    Heyo!

    Make sure you're using ASIO drivers for your Kontrol S3 in Virtual DJ. ASIO drivers generally offer lower latency than other driver types (like MME/DirectX). You can usually select the driver type in Virtual DJ's audio settings.  

    Also, Ensure that the sample rate in Windows audio settings (Control Panel > Sound) matches the sample rate in Virtual DJ. You can also check if there's an "Exclusive Mode" option in your Windows sound settings for the Kontrol S3. Enabling this might help.

    And also setting of ASIO buffer size plays role. It should be as small as possible while sound is still OK (no dropouts).
