    To me screen flickering is not related to the issues being commented here. I think they are separate problems.

    argh. Coming back to this thread because yesterday I had to take out my “trusty” Traktor 2 + Audio4DJ + X1 mk2 setup as the venue didn’t have Pioneer CDJ’s.
    And yes, it happened again, audio playback all of a sudden slowing down, stopping, starting, verrrrryyyyy sllllooowww. ARGH!


    I always make sure to reboot my system, turn off WiFi and BT, reset soundcard buffer etc. And still it happened. It seems to be something in the playback speed getting all messed up for some reason, it’s definitely no buffer under run.
    Anyway, it’s a pity as I did enjoy the old traktor experience, but I need to be able to trust it.

    Happend to me on Saturday while spinning my own b-day party :p
    No idea what caused it, wifi was off, system was in high performance, traktor was locked to the logical cores, was running relaxed latency settings… First time this has happened live to me in 3 months

    I give up, I can't get traktor 100% stable for over an hour unless I run 48khz at 512ms buffer.

    Ended up getting beatup old CDJ's as traktor crashed for me at 2 major gigs (My first non canada/usa gig in Bangkok) I have been on Traktor since 2010 and spun probably 300 event sets over the years but the latency/crash issue with TP4 is serious and is measurably getting worse since TP3

    I use 48khz at 480ms with a behringer u-phoria umc on a lenovo ideapad 3 (ryzen5 - 12gb ram) . It's stable enough to me. Streaming 3-4 hs (2 decks + plenty fx, no stems)
    edit: im still on TP3

    Disable CPU Core Parking
    Install LatencyMon to see which drivers are causing the most issues on your system with DPC Latency.

    DPC Latency with real time audio processing is the NUMBER ONE issue when it comes to audio glitches with Traktor.

    I've found in the past that using powered USB hubs can be the cause of the issue.

    I've had zero issues with the X1 MK3 since I bought it until I tried adding a Livid DS1 to my setup a month ago, which caused loads of issues with USB bandwidth and audio drop outs.
    Had to get rid straight after sadly.
