New EGE vci 400 hopelessly lost will not function

[Entheos406]

Here is what I got:
E.g.e. vci 400
Toshiba with 2.3 ghz core i3
6 gigs ram
win 7 64 bit
itch V7 drivers installed for my v7s
Traktor 2.5
Drivers for the audio 2 soundcard
Vci400 drivers

Every time I close the program it hangs saying it's flushing background tasks. News ti be force quit.
Every time I load a song it crackles and pops the other song that is playing.

Overall the sound quality is crap.

I do not know if I need to set the vci as asio or wasapi but when I get the wrong combination of the two I lose my cue channel. I don't know what to set the buffer at or the latency or sample size and I have never used traktor before. If somebody could please help me on my settings so I could trouble shoot my problems that would be great.

I want to start using the vci 400 at gigs but it is unreliable.

Also I am keeping one of my numark v7s. Can I plug it into the extra channels on my vci and run itch and traktor at the same time so I can have a good scratch turntable?

To start, set the latency between 5-10ms, and select vci400 asio driver. Does this improve things?

ive been having the same problem with the flushing background thing. Never goes away, end up having to force close traktor. From what iv been reading it has to do with a corrupted MP3 .wav etc etc. No idea how to track down this corrupted file so it is still happening. As for the crackling and popping, im not sure. I use an external komplete audio 6 for my soundcard with the EGE.

does the "flushing background hangup" happen if you simply open Traktor and immediately close it?

[fitzyp]

not for me. It usually happens after i've been mixing for a good hour at least then when I go to shut it down, it stops at "flushing Background". Im pretty sure it is a corrupted mp3 somewhere that is causing it. Just need to figure out how to find it. Sucks because I build up a set list and I can never save it since the save happens when you close Traktor properly.

Thanks Bhajan, going to have to try these or something similar when I get a chance tomorrow.

Wow am I lost. What sample size should I use? USB streaming mode? right now I cannot adjust the latency slider and I am set at 64ms total latency.

Because I don't know how to use this version of traktor I might as well grab the update and hope it fixes the glitch I have been having where the BPM crawls down

Ok

you cannot set latency in tracktor with a vci-400, use the control panel app to accomplish this
