Hello,
I am trying to get my Audio 8 sound card to work with Virtual DJ 7.0.5b. I have all the latest drivers installed, and I have it configured correctly for 4 channels of audio. I also have WIFI TURNED OFF, so that isn't the problem.
All the audio is coming out the correct channels, but I am plagued with the glitchy popping audio, which usually means something is interfering. I should add that I am using the Audio 8 ASIO drivers in advanced configuration for the setup. If I use it's WDM drivers, I can get all channels working without the popping sounds, but only channel 1 sounds good. Channels 2,3,4 sound compressed/almost like mono channels, and just sound kinda bad. Using the ASIO drivers sound great, and equal on all channels, except for the popping sounds. If I reduce to only 2 stereo channels, (2 decks) is sounds fine, no problems.
I have also set the latency settings to pretty slow, and my laptop is fairly beefy, so specs should not be an issue. I have all the unneeded crap disabled from start up, so no junkwear is running in the background that I can see. Can't see anything unnecessary stuff running from the processes tab in task manager.
Specs on the laptop: AMD processor, 2.8 GHz Phenom N620 dual core, 4 Gigs of DDR3 memory, 500 GB hard drive, Windows 7 Home, 64-bit.
We can debate specs, but people where using the audio 8 with far lesser computers when it was new, so I can't see the specs of my machine really being the issue, unless it's a windows 7 thing.
It seems like there is something I am forgetting about, something else that messes with the audio latency, like something with the battery/power settings?
Anybody seeing this problem, or know a solution? My VMS4.1 & Versadeck seem to be running fine, but I'd like to use with Audio 8 with my 3rd setup, which uses a Behringer DDM4000, and some SCS.3d for the midi decks.
Thanks for your time :)

Have you tried any other drivers?? I use the drivers that came with the Audio 8 and have no problems at all on a Vista machine. http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=freeupdates&L=1
Here's their drivers page, I'd just go through and try each one until you find one that works for you.
Hope that helps

Yeah, finally found someone stating that infact the latest drivers for the Audio 8 causes problems. Dropped back to a 2 version (do remember exact version right now, but basically the version before their current version 3 driver. Now everything works perfect :)
