Topic: Virtual DJ won't completely exit (Windows)
I have had this issue happen several times in the past day. I use VDJ, and exit it. Later I try to go back to it and I get the dialog box about it already running. I go to the Task Manager and try to end the task. But the VDJ orphaned process stays there.


I have tried killing the process by running task manager in Administrator Mode, and that does not work. The only solution I have found is a full reboot. Has anyone else run into this issue recently? What did you do to resolve it?

Something prevents VDJ to release some device, usually a sound card.
In this case, i strongly recommend to either have exclusiveaudioAccess setting in VDJ set to Yes, or (imo much better), to make sure the sound card you use in VDJ audio setup is not the Operating system default playback device.

Thanks. The exclusiveaudioAccess was not set to "yes'. So, i changed that. In the Audio setup, the hardware sound options are using a splitter, computer audio, and USB soundcard. Are you suggestion that you would use the USB soundcard? Or are you saying that in the windows settings when the controller is connected ensure that the controller is being used by system and not the PC speakers/mic? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
