If it helps I'll take a video to show what I'm explaining below but after first impressions I'm finding my DVS to be completely unusable with Virtual DJ and I can see it was an ongoing longterm issue from past posts and non of the remedies I've found have worked, except for using a different software.
Set up -
Technics Mk2 - Traktor Mk2 timecode vinyl - Traktor A6 - DJM 600 >> no hardware faults - works flawlessly with traktor software
Problem -
Pitch is drifting by itself as soon as it comes into sync it just buggers off by itself - I trailed this using two copies of the same track with zero drift when mixed via internal
I then set them to timecode mode and activated internal sync incase the offset from the technics was the problem and one was incorrectly calibrated at +/-0 unlikely but I've had some bizarre technics faults over the years so I wanted to eliminate the deck being the issue. After not even 10 seconds of pressing sync and the tracks theoretically being the same speed vdj software is drifting the track - visually and audibly (it does this without sync also) - the beat markers start to drift apart the mix gets beyond clashy then vdj fixes itself and snaps them back to the grid this repeats sporadically through out the track
I then tested each deck separately trying to use the hotswap 1 deck mixing style to ensure it was the software and both decks behaved exactly the same
When I downloaded traktor it worked as expected, mixing held for a long time, & a sync'ed track stayed in sync with itself with negligible drift for the duration of a 6 minute track - Compared to vdj which wasn't just drifting out but it is sudden as if I'd jolted the pitch like +3 out & then it was randomly snapping itself back into place - its as if the software is overriding the hardware to get back in sync it's really got me baffled which is why I'm explaining it in this much detail maybe some one who had a similar issue knows a setting I need to tweak that I've missed.. But. I bought my DVS second hand with no software included because I had traktors software in the past & don't like other aspects of it..
Being able to double click a track from win explorer and have it load in VDJ to a free deck instead of dragging them across to traktor is worth the price difference alone for someone like me who has 6 folders with 1000's of tracks open at any one time to chop & change through using software crates is inadequate & vdj loading & analysing speeds are much faster & more accurate + VDJ detecting bpm changes in tracks is a godsend for tracks that have small bpm variations throughout..
So in short, I was very happy with VDJ & was going to use the DVS with it, but now I'm left forced to use a traktor pro demo and if I can't find a config set up or solution; a forced to upgrade to a software I inherently don't like.
What's strange is that the exact same set up a few years earlier worked fine with earlier versions of VDJ & was the initial reason I upgraded the software however I tried with VDJ 7 today and it was the same
I've set the timecode settings as in the image
& the A6 driver is set to direct thru unticked - usb buffer 4 - process 44000 - sample rate 128
I've got a video showing the drifting behaviour in vdj but I don't know how to upload vid on here..
