**Cracks in sound using the traktor audio 10 interface with an external mixer and X1** Hi people, I recently bought a traktor kontrol X1 and a traktor audio 10 interface. The reason I bought these two is because my A&H xone 3D’s midi signals are really fucked up ( for example: using the left jogwheel changes like 10 things in traktor pro 2: effects,tempo,filter etc.). So what i want to use is: the mixer part of the A&H xone 3D with the traktor X1. I hooked up line A and B from the xone 3D to the audio 10’s outputs A and B. The problem starts when I play music through channel A and/or B, I have cracks in the sound each 5 minutes, they last like 3-5 seconds but are very annoying! Does anybody knows what this means? And knows how to fix this? KReal ---

could be latency,wheres that set to on your prefs.? or the auto-gain,or the eqing from either side ‘external or internal’,a bit more intel may be needed for us to figure out. hope this helps you. j-kutt ---

I’ve had that problem too with cracks in the sound. Do you use mac or windows? First I was using windows and there were some cracks. When I moved to mac I never had any problem. The problem when is was using windows was that I didn’t optimized the computer for running audio-programs. I you do this, the problem would be solved mostly. ---

If your laptop/computer has a wireless network card, try disabling it in the Device Manager. On every Windows machine I’ve ran Traktor off, network traffic on a wireless adaptor card will cause drops and clicks in the sound. Some low level access issues in Windows audio drivers methinks… bad juju. ---

It was indeed the wireless network card. I turned Wifi off, and the problem was fixed. This seems to be a common problem with traktor audio interfaces :S Thnx guys!
