Master Light Just Keeps Blinking
Posted on: 01.04.2011 by Jarrod Hellems
I plug my controller in after I had installed the software and the light is just blinking. Windows is telling me it could not install the device and nothing is detected in Traktor. Any advice here?

Yep, I unplugged and plugged back in to see and nothing. I have to test further, its strange because I had zero issues with S4. The strangest part is that audio was playing through the soundcard but not on the channels. I'll try my best to reproduce it, it would be disasterous if it happened playing live.

Nah I don't know anyone else with an S4 unfortunately. I mean I did buy an open box unit but it should still work. I am kind of hoping it's just a damaged unit cause the second I took it out of the box I fell in love with it. I was just disappointed I couldnt even mess around with it.

Upon wake the HID functions of the S4 would not work on TP2 but sound was outputting on the main. I turned off the s4 and it still wouldn't work, I unplugged it and the same issue happened. Finally I rebooted which solved the issue.

03.04.2011		Sigh looks like it wasn't meant to be with me and the S4. I cant get it to work with my MBP and I even bought a powered USB hub to see if I stopped getting that USB power message nonsense.

02.04.2011		I gave up trying to get the drivers to go on my Windows 7 machines. My Macbook Pro however (latest generation) is saying too much power being drawn =(

02.04.2011		Make sure you dont have the controller plugged in while youre updating or installing the software drivers.....sounds like you didnt but just trying to be helpful
Charline Dye
02.04.2011		Dunno. Have you tried a different USB cable?

I was fully updated and it still wouldn't recognize. I have tried on two different computers now for whatever reason it wont recognize the controller.

01.04.2011		Before I drive myself crazy...the controller should still be detected and work even if my Traktor software is not registered right? I am just lost as to why it is not even being picked up now.

Hm that might be it. Do I just run Service Center for that?
