Topic: Pioneer DDJ-SB2 Play Button Stops working mid set!! Please help!!

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi Everyone

I recently purchased a Pioneer DDJ-SB2 and it works great for the first 5-10 mins then when I load a track (can be MP3 or MP4) to the right deck although the track appears to load and the play button flashes as it should when I press play nothing happens!! The music on the other deck still plays fine but I cant do anything with the right deck!! Even if I try clicking the play button with my mouse nothing happens meaning I have to close virtual DJ and restart it!!

I have a newly built PC (with no wifi or internet connectivity) running Windows 10 Pro (64 bit) with plenty of RAM. The build is VirtualDJ 8.2 - b3994

I have swapped the USB cable and port but the problem persists.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Many thanks

Does the same thing happen when using Serato? You should give it a try if you haven't done so already, because it will determine whether the issue is with VDJ or with the SB2.

Hey there - so I've just tried it with Serato and guess what.... same issue!!

After some digging on the interwebs it appears that lots of people are having the same issue with the DDJ-SB2

So it's back to the shop for this unit!!

I used my DDJ-SB2 from Feb 2017, until Nov 2017, and had nothing but success. I upgraded to the DDJ-SR2, and the SB2 will be a backup (which means collecting dust at home). I would return the unit as defective.
