I have recently upgraded to the professional version of Virtual DJ (from the DJC version) and I am using v5.2. I had everything working well using a Hercules MK2 on its own and then also using an external mixer to mix in a club.
I then tried to remove the external mixer from the system and adjust the config back to using the Hercules MK2 on its own and I had trouble cueing up tracks in the headphones with the decks not corresponding to the control on the front of the Herc.
As I tried to solve this while live on air on the radio, the system came up with "asio driver error" warning and I had to shut down. Since then it has failed to work again saying the same problem exists.
I still have the DJC version on my PC and I managed to resort to using that for my radio broadcast. This version still works but the Virtual DJ v 5.2 does not work anymore always stating asio driver error. It even seems to kill winamp if I load virtual dj 5.2 while playing music on Winamp.
Do I need to reinstall version 5?
Thanks in advance.

have you set the console to asio mode in the herc software?

Right thanks that was the problem. Hmmm right I had ASIO set on the Herc console. Changed it back and now I can cue up in my headphones from the correct deck.
Something else weird has happened though.
I previously had a problem with the DJ C version whereby my mic was really quiet when using the headphone jack on my Herc. Broadcasting with a mic was pointless. I eventually got round the problem by plugging my mic into my laptop mic port and setting the config on virtual DJ to broadcast/record to "Master + Mic" and setting "Primary sound capture device.
This meant that it was using the soundcard on my laptop for the mic and the Herc for the mixing of mp3's. This worked great.
Since upgrading to the VDJ v5.2 this method no longer works. It doesn't pick up the mic sound from the laptop soundcard. I have tried using the herc for mic but it is still too quiet.
Any ideas what the conflict might be?
The setup in Virtual DJ config is for Inputs= None, Outputs= Headphones and hercules MK2 as soundcard. Apply EQ on external inputs = Not ticked, Output channels Master 1 and 2, headphones 3 and 4.

Ok still not got this mic problem solved. I have been using my DJC version to boradcast on the radio for weeks now as I haven't had time to get this problem fixed.
I have tried all variations on the broadcasting and recording options in Virtual DJ:
Record from:
Master
Master + mic (as advised and as I use on the DJC version)
Line in
Using Master +mic if I use hercules as the input and plug my mic into that then I can hear my voice very faintly. No use at all and I think there is a fault in my herc hardware. This is the same in my DJC version.
If I use Master and Mic but the primary sound capture setting (as with DJC version) it should capture all the sound from my laptop soundcard and the mic which I plug into the laptop. But no joy.
Any ideas?
I can broadcast with the old version but I want to use the shiny new model and its lovely effects.
Cheers.

try master + line in
the mk2 drivers now use the mk2 mic port like a line in
not entirely sure why but it seems to work

The mic input port on the Hercules MK2 is notoriously underpowered in my experience (probably not preamped). For this reason, I don't use it, either. I remember reading a post where someone had performed a workaraound, but it involved opening the unit, and thus, voiding the warranty.
Have you tried Skyfxl's suggestion yet?

Ok changed to line in.
Now I have three options:
1) Primary sound capture-
When I record this I get no music which is playing but I can hear myself VERY FAINTLY WHEN MIC PLUGGED INTO THE HERCULES. No mic when I plug into laptop.
2) Hercules Mk2-
I get no music and no mic sound when I am plugged into laptop but I do get FAINT MIC THROUGH THE HERCULES
3) Sigmatel audio (laptop soundcard) which then adds three other extra options
- Stereomix (no music, no mic through the herc and no mic through the laptop)
- CD audio (no music no mic)
- Microphone (No music, No mic through the herc but VERY GOOD MIC SOUND THROUGH THE LAPTOP)
So I get the mic level I want when set to line in, set to Sigmatel Audio, set to microphone and the mic is plugged into the laptop.
But now I get no music!!!
Can I change something in the main configuration?

Hi,
I read all the comments so far, but here is my issue. I have Vista Home on an HP, seems like everything loaded ok, but I turn on the Virtual DJ and I get "ERROR on ASIO DRIVER". I have downloaded just about all the suggestions, even downloaded Asio4all, uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works. I use the same port each time, so no miss there... The entire equipment from computer to Hercules RMX is all new. I am sending it thru a Mackie 1202....What am I missing... I would appreciate ANY HELP from ANYONE who has the answer. After that then I will resort to saying that this software is JUNK if everyone is having so much difficulty with it.
Helppppppppppppppppppp.
I am at my wits end and I have a gig in 3 days.
Bob.

In addition, without the Hercules RMX attached, the system without it works fine. I need it for mixing and cueing, or I would do without it. So any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hello Richard1965,
To improve the audio quality:
1) Disable the wifi on your computer, wifi takes so much CPU power it damages the sound
2) Disconnect the internet and stop the anti-virus
3) Increase the ASIO buffer size.
4) Precise your configuration, a detailed technical information on your computer is needed to understand a technical problem

Please someone help so that i know if it's the hardware or i'm doing something wrong. I never had this problem before.

You are getting an error message when trying to download the drivers OR when launching VDJ ?
Did you install the drivers following these instructions ?
http://ts.hercules.com/download/sound/txt/DJ_Series_INSTALLATION_PC_EN.pdf
Once done, was the controller enumerated and installed properly, as described in this document ?
http://ts.hercules.com/faqs/eng/her_eng_00411.pdf
If this is all correct, please also indicate which version of VDJ you are using.
If however your controller is not installed correctly, then be aware that a powered USB hub my be necessary for your controller to be enumerated properly on this new computer (as indicated on the download page).

You should check the Pioneer web site to see if there is a new Ergo V driver for Windows 10.
