Hello all!
I recently purchased a new laptop. The GS60 Ghost 3k Pro 2PE from MSI. This computer is a beast and is packed with a crap-load of power while maintaining an Ultrabook profile.
Intel i7 with 16 GB of RAM and a 3GB nVidia 870m GPU, 256 GB SSD and 1TB HDD.
The only problem is, it has Windows 8.
Windows 8 is apparently horrible at running Traktor. I can't seem to get rid of the scratchy audio buildup every time I use Traktor. I've played around with Latency and the options but it continues to mess with the audio. Oddly enough, every time I click the settings window, the scratchy sounds go away for a bit. I have tried refreshing the OS and updating the drivers but it makes no differences. The problem doesnt occur on my older Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7.
I have an Akai APC40 and an AKAI EIE Pro that I am trying to connect to my 2.1 Harmon Kardon speakers. They have a regular 3.5mm jack but using the computers jack distorts the sound. I'm going to buy a dual 1/4 inch to 3.5mm Y cable to route the audio straight from the EIE pro to the speakers.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you all!
