    Question Weird problem with s4

    For some reason sometimes when I load up T2 my s4 doesn't respond. I know I installed the drivers correctly and when i power up the s4 everything is fine, the device is recognized and all that jazz. The only way I can get the s4 to control TP2 is to restart my computer. It worked fine in the kontrol s4 software but not with TP2. It's starting to become a hassle.. Any idea on what could be causing this?

    It only happened the first time I plugged it with the new software, driver reinstall fixed it (I did a time machine restore the previous day so that might be the cause in my case).

    i know the specs on my laptop have nothing to do with this issue.. it worked perfectly fine with the s4 software. i'm thinking it's some sort of driver issue.

    but just to post.. its a PC runnin win 7 @ 2.4ghz and 4 gigs of ram

    I sometimes have the same. I'm still thinking it's the way I connect and boot up traktor, somehow....

    Might do a reinstall of the drivers.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.. After I made this post I made sure my s4 was fully plugged in and checked everything before powering it on and loading traktor. So far so good.. I'm also thinking it might happen when I unplug my s4 and use my headphones/speakers then plug it back in while leaving my headphones or whatnot still in the aux input

    I had this problem once and it was after I unplugged my S4 for some reason. Normally it stays plugged in and on in the same spot.

    it's maybe too obvious, but did you check if the S4 default mapping is in place?
