how do I fix traktor 2 audio dropouts/latency?

hi all

so I finally got win 7 installed, but i still get the odd crackle or dropout with traktor! My audio settings are running at 44100hz with 128m latency and 3m usb. My total latency is running below 10 and thats about the best I can get it to sound.. I also run the djtt script and switch off wifi and im running the asio4all drivers. Is there anything else im missing? any advice is appreciated :slight_smile:

asio4all is not always a good solution, we still don’t know your soundcard, neither your computer specs,

Sure enough, to get good result with audio streaming, you want to have a native ASIO soundcard, not a WDM using an ASIO plaster on the top of it.

Yes more info on your soundcard would be nice.

And you can also try bumping up your buffers to 256/512. Drop USB down to 1-2ms.

Tweaking those settings is where I would focus if I were you.

Try disabling Wi-Fi

sorry, running my s4’s soundcard. Im also using a dell inspiron (not the best but meh)intel duo core 2.1 ghz and 3gb ram

Use Default Setting or Factory setting is the best way for you.
because every things that you do…It’s tell me that you don’t know what are you doing.

this is true.. i had used the forum previously when i had vista and the majority of the advice got were to use these settings/drivers etc.. when I re-installed traktor the default settings werent the best. I will reset and try again though :slight_smile:

definitely turn off wifi, antivirus and battery manager in devices. As well as turning off wifi disable your wireless adapter in devices.

ive tried everything on that list… updated every driver, switched them off.. updated windows… ran latencymon to find the cpu sucking drivers.. nothing adds up to over +1?? shall i just get a new computer? lol

11

What version of the S4 driver are you using?

And have you upgraded Traktor to the most recent version?

12

version 3, will have a look at upgrading traktor thru service centre.. I aslo tried using a different usb port and its actually a little better.. not getting so many spikes into the yellow zone

13

128 samples of latency is too low

14

128 sounds better than 256 or 512 atm.. ive switched to another usb point and im “just” getting into the yellow zone. (but i have a usb buffer @ 4)
