Hi Xperts,
I run VDJ 3.1 on a IBM T41 laptop with an Echo Indigo DJ PCMCIA soundcard.
Performance and audio are great but after about 4 hours of playing there is suddenly a terrible noise on master and headphone. I used to have this problem with the onboard Soundmax soundcard but not with my old USB soundcard for master output. This is very annoying during a live set.
Shutting down VDJ and restarting it solves the problem immediately for another 4 hours, but then i lose my list of played songs and shutting down for 2 minutes is not very pleasant for the audience.
Could this being caused by a VDJ setting?
Any feedback appreciated.
Thx
Buck

If you've purchased Virtual DJ please edit your profile and add your serial number to it so that we know you bought the program.
There were rumours floating around a long time ago that cracked versions of the software did have similar effects to what you just described but if you are using a legitimate version of the software then it is probably down to your soundcard drivers.

Voila, I just entered my serial nr, I had to change my name though.
So, you think with the registered version I just downloaded from the VirtualDJ site I will not have these problems?
Thx

This issue is something I ran into also,I do have a licensed version.After 5 to six hours I have noticed that I will get just a Machine static noise,It happened the first time after I did the scan harddrive with the analyze bmp box checked,this took three days to do my songs and then when I went to play them I got the noise.rebooted the computer,noise gone.Second time was at a wedding,I played from 7 pm to 1 am.Luck had it I was shutting done at 1,no big deal.
Then as and experiment I set up VDJ to play with automix on overnight,next morning same static,then I minimized program and played a song with winamp,sounded ok.went back to VDJ,static.Shut down VDJ and started it up again,music was fine.weird. P@40

Firstly, welcome as a registered user Coldplay2Chris!

You should test other programs for these sort of errors too. I have had such experiences with games before which utilised Direct3D or whatever it's called where the sound would cut out after about three hours, it didn't happen in all games but the problem was driver/chipset specific and not the fault of the games I was playing.
It may be worth running WinAmp using DirectSound output with your Virtual DJ preferred soundcard and letting that run for six or seven hours and see if the problem persists.

Thanks for the response Andrew,this has happened so rarely I'm not to conecrned with it,this thread just caught my eye.I have ran VDJ many times during a 4 hour show with no problems at all.I'm running a new Dell laptop and for now I'm using the onboard soundcard,it did have an update the I uploaded and installed from dells website.I will try your idea about running winamp for 6 or seven hours,I am planning on upgrading to the US46DJ soundcard soon.
Again thanks for your input. P@40

Buzzing sound after 4 hours? Maybe bug in the cracked VDJ, maybe only sophisticated anti-piracy protection.. Who knows..:-) I am sure that now as legal user you will bee without this problem.
