F&^K! I am starting to get audio dropouts!

Last night the right turntable audio went out. Serato was running fine but the mixer said there was no signal coming from it.

Today the left turntable dropped out.

I've been using serato on the same laptop for almost a year now, so its no the laptop. Could it be an issue with the Serato?

On top of that I am getting Stop Error messages (usb_error) with a friggin blue screen.

I am thinking the USB wired might be faulty.

What do you guys think?

One other thing... both times... I just disconnected the USB cord from the laptop and plugged it back in... fixed the problem both times.

Well just cuz uve used the laptop for a year doesnt mean that its not the laptop, components fail, but a way to find out is to use a new cable

I think all this is happening cause you're too busy trying to trace your gf (or bf) using his/her cell phone. :P

hahahaha! I hate you sixxx.

I don't know what it is... I was just practicing and the signal to the right turntable dropped out again. No sound, no signal, but serato was just running fine. took out the USB and put it back it... worked fine after that.

its not resolved Mike. I just deleted the club account and am now using my main account to practice. I'm gonna make another account and test it from there.

anybody ever had a blue scrren stop error message in regards to their USB.

1.try to defrag your computer
2.raise your buffer
3.build overview's
4.make sure your rca cables are not bad.

try all this then play on it for a while!
