Vista has audio enhancements thats the play back sound distorted and makes the music pop. To fix this read below
Go to control panel -> Sound -> Properties and disable all enhancemants as explained above.
Also uncheck the two boxes in the advanced tab that say "Allow application to take exclusive control of this device" and "Give exclusive mode applications priority"
Finally and I think most importantly, set the default format option to CD quality 44100 Hz mode.
Reboot and see. It worked for me, hope it does for you too.

You don't know how much good you did me just telling me that. I had thought there was something wrong with my microphone input because it would record a garbled mess and it wasn't like that when i had first gotten it. I thought at first it was something to do with updates because i'd read that vista updates could negatively effect your audio but after i reinstalled and it still did the same thing after a fresh install i knew that wasn't it. it downloaded updates against my wishes since then and then after changing the settings you said here it started working like new again. I am so glad. i had thought i was going to have to get and external usb sound card and my extigy i know already didn't work so i figure it wouldv'e been money down the drain. thanks

Surely you don't want to do that, having dedicated control of a device is a good thing! Those settings would only affect WDM mode anyway not ASIO. I think WDM always resamples to 48 khz too, although maybe this was only in XP.

Laptops have USB drop out and thats why you have to disable stuff so it can run to max. Tweaking is good. When i bought my laptop, i wasn't looking for something with a web cam or blue tooth or light scribe... You buy something with a good processor and it has to be able to take a good amount of ram. 2 gigs or higher for audio dj ying is good. The more things you have running on your laptop, less performance
Things to do
Turn off wirless
Disable your virus protection (Some virus protection consume alot resources)
Use 4 foot usb cable isntead of 6
Tweak your laptop
Delete programs you dont need or use
Make sure your laptop has good ventilation
Get a laptop with higher specs than minimum of the recomended for VDJ to run good.
If you want to change your internal hd from your laptop, Don't get a 7200 rpm if your computer uses 5400 rpm. Only buy if its compatable. You " will " get a lot of usb drop outs if its not compatable.

Hi there,
just wanna tell you how much I agree with all of you. If you want to avoid bad sound and performance issues, disable the wireless network and virus protection software (Vista Defender). It's always a good idea to manually update Vista, otherwise you might end up rebooting during a gig.
I had performance and video issues after djing for about ten hours. I got myself a laptop cooling pad and the problems are gone. So good ventilation is also very essential.

An ac powered cooling pad not a usb bus powered cooling pad, i hope?

AN AC powered is better than using the laptops USB port. Less usb ports being consumed the better. When im DJ ying. I only have the Audio interface and my external HD. No more than that...

Hi, I use a USB powered cooling pad. Hasn't caused any problems yet. If you wanna be on the safe side, you can get yourself a powered USB port replicator (I guess that's waht it is called). I actually use two cooling pads, one for the laptop and one for my dlp. Works wonders.

Just started using a laptop. I use an external mixer. How do I split the sound output from my deck A and B through my RCA'S, plugging one rca into channel one and channel two on my board?

Have a problem configuring my DXM01 USB with vista as my PC is not recognising it.
It worked perfect on XP. Has anyone any solutions to this and can help me with the configuration.
Thanks in anticpation

i have an inferiority complex too ...... but it's not a very good one
Caliente .....you stole my schtick .... but it's ok
turn off wireless and blue tooth......that kills two things that are constantly firing off in the background...
another one is the power options .....set power scheme to always on ....then all the options to never
one more good bit .... this is very generic .....just plain defrag ! run the defragger at least say , once a week
about the cooling pad i couldn't agree more ...get a powered one, and if it has usb ports , that's usually handy if you are on a laptop
i don't like to disagree with Caliente , but I am running a 5400 and a 7200 rpm ext drive on an old XP desktop and it isn't causing
any problems using the 7200 .......
also concerning the usb ports .....if you don't use them you are automatically using less system resources .....
however , you should not be unwilling to use them , i think , why?? because the most important thing is to have an overall
good functioning system .....this means no viruses , hacking tools , root kits etc , clean registyr , defrag , up to date direct x and even BIOS
low number of background processes running (probably less than 40 would be good , less is possible) no irq conflicts and up to date drivers
also set the secondary ide channel on ultra dma will allow for some serious multi tasking ....
lemme correct myself .... i think he was talking about switching out a new C: drive .....yeah stick with 5400 unless you know for a fact otherwise .....however external drives can be 7200 .....
