Can anyone explain to me what the DDJ-800 SW Mic option is for? I attached a picture. Look at the lower right hand corner.
Is this option used to send a mic signal to the internet via usb? If not, can someone tell me what it is for?

Software (SW) Mic.
Means the mic will be routed back to the computer, so that it can be recorded or used at broadcast.
Without this, the mic is hardware only, direct to the master output of the controller (and never heard by the computer or VirtualDJ)
Can see bottom of page here:

Thanks Rune!
That's exactly what I thought. I am trying to send a broadcast signal with music and my mic. I have SW mic selected, but it's not transmitting my voice over the internet. I can't figure out why. (Scratching my head)

Little unsure when it comes to the software vs hardware mode control
When software mic, are you enabling and controlling the mic in the software ?
At master panel at the mixer section, turn "ON" for example
Although, the controller itself might also have on/off that works for software mic too.. See #24 here:

Yes. It's turned on in the Master section and I also turned it on physically on the controller just like in the picture. (Still scratching my head)
Thanks for your help. Please let me know if you think of anything else. I am wondering if it is a routing issue now on this page:

Rune!!!
Nevermind! You were right! I didn't have the software mic turned on as displayed in your picture. Just turned it on and bam!!! It's working perfectly now.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Did you set mic mode to software? DDJ800-micMode

I recently got a DDJ-800. I’ve practiced on it a few times but today is the first time I plugged it into the systems and hooked up mics. I got nothing on both mic 1 and 2. Yes I adjusted levels and had the button in the on position. Turned everything off to have some lunch came back and turned everything on fresh and got my shure wireless to work on mic 2. Got it all set up and eq’d how I wanted. Turned the mic off and when I went to turn it back on nothing. I tried to restart several times and nothing. So to recap it’s worked once on mic 2 input and never on mic 1

Im running into same issue, DDJ800 Mic 1 goes deal with wireless shure mic, first starts off great, then about 2hrs in, mic goes dead thru board, have to remove mic and go directly thru speakers for it to work. Switch on and off on board, un plug and replug same issue, have to end up restarting board for mic to come back, seems like for some reason, mic goes to sleep thru board and then never can wake up again unless restarted. Latest firmware update installed. Anyone find a fix for this?

Do you use software or hardware MIC configuration ?
Have you tried to switch MIC configuration to see if that helps ?
BTW: Is there any chance that you have your speakers connected on BOOTH output instead of MASTER ?

I can try to switch this and see if the issues act up again and just reconfirmed, i do have connected thru master out not booth out, its just weird, mic works fine at beginning of event, then just quits working and nothing can be done to resolve issue unless I reboot it.
