Hey all,
I've searched the forums, but I didn't get the info I needed.
After lots of trial and error, I finally got my U46DJ to work, but then something weird happens...
Sometimes, when I load a new song, it causes the song currently playing to skip slightly. It's only for a split-second, but its enough to keep me from using it at a gig. This never happened with my maya 44. Any suggestions?
I have to say, after all the hassle with this card, I don't understand why it's the preferred card for VDJ...

Socros,
How much memory do you have
what are: Limiter, Autogain, Timestretch, Max load and Reactivity set to?
I've noticed skipping with a few of these options and just want to make sure your setup properly ;)
Let us know

Hi, I've got the u46dj too qnd I get the same symptoms (sound cuts) since I moved to my new laptop (acer aspire 5020, AMD Turion, 512 Mo ram ...).
But it gets worst when I try to use the Nuo4 to control VDJ (especially when change menus which doesn't appear when I use the touchpad).
I've try putting more ram (I'm now at 768Mo) to no avail.
Any ideas?
It use to work fine on ly desktop PC
PS : I love VDJ.

Maybe the USB port don't provide enough power to you USB soundcard. Also check the last drivers form ESI, because the first one have many issues...
Good Luck!

I did find a solution: I sold the U46DJ on Ebay and went back to my maya!!!
Very frustrating experience, I'm still not sure why this card is now the recommended card for VDJ. I admit that I didn't try it with the ac power, but since it doesn't come with a power adaptor, I didn't want to bother trying to track one down.
If VDJ came out with their own card that worked like the SSL card does, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

the thing is found a way to make it better by increasing the sample size to 512 on the asio settings (1024 is just too bad for latency).
but I still get glitches when change menus with the nuo4...

VirtualDJ can be use with several soundcards, I like it that way. I agree we need an specific soundcard for laptops. For desktops I recommend an M-Audio Delta 44 PCI or better. This soundcard it's better than Maya or ESI.
But in the USB section we only have a few and the only replacement for Maya 44 USB was U46DJ. The first drivers are buggy but the last ones works ok with vdj.
Good Luck!

I presume you are talking about version 1.014 released in AUG/18/2005, which is what I've got installed.
What do you think I should do for my problem?
more ram? add a power adapter to the soundcard? should AMD turion work ok with VDJ?

Also, there are several people reporting the lack of volume control for the phono-in to be a problem. That beig said, I 've also had a lot of trouble with my Maya 44USB, since somehow it is not compatible with my USB-bus. I also have a friend who has experienced incompatibility problems with the same soundcard (it made his CPU jump like crazy every ten seconds or so). My impression is that audiotrak/esi products is not the most reliable on the market, and add to that they are fairly slow on driver-releases, and support is so-so. Unfortunately there really aren't any good alternatives out there (price-range and size). Or is there?
