SERIOUS, ridiculous problems with my VCI-400 EGE with Traktor 2 and then with 2.5.

Sorry for the bump but relevant information to be had.

Attempt this, on your laptop remove the power adapter and see if the noise goes away, if it does then there is a grounding loop issue on the laptop. 9 times out of 10 its the LCD unit itself. People have used 3-prong to 2-prong adapters that eliminate the ground pin and it makes it go away or if your battery life is long enough stay off the plug until your mix is done.

Encountered this issue with certain laptops such as a Vaio SA2 having static but a HP DV7 and 2011 MBP not having it. Give it a shot. I had issues with both RCA, quarters, and XLR on different controllers and setups and this usually did the trick.

Have you ruled out your 1/4" jack leads as the problem?

Hardware is almost, always, the last thing to fail.

I recently had crackling and popping noises and it turned out to be my USB cable. Good luck!

Dude, i had the issue with noise/hissing .. and i finally found the (easy) remedy!

turn both mic input dials to Zero.. and also mic routing and input routing switches to CD DECK - DONE!

You can tell this is causing the problem by turning up your speakers loud - and putting both dials on full, then switching the routing switches back and forth... HISS - CLEAR - HISS - CLEAR


Hope this helps!!
