S2 not working

S2 not working
Posted on: 12.05.2012 by Lorretta Halaska
Hi, I recently sold my kontrol S2 via ebay and the provided traktor pro 2 software to someone else. I never registered either to myself. The guy who bought Traktor is not having any problems but the guy who bought the S2 can't get it to work. Apparently the USB light turns on and the computer recognizes the S2 soundcard option within Traktor but when he chooses, the S2 doesn't kick on.
I believe ultimately he wants to use it as a midi device for another program.
Is it possible that the S2 wont turn on because the traktor registration that was provided with the S2 is already registered to someone else (the guy I sold Traktor to)? Is this some kind of protection scheme that NI uses?

He has uninstalled the drivers and correctly installed them a couple times.

Any clue what is going on? thanks for your help.

If you watch the usb light while your laptop boots, it will flash and when windows "initializes" the drivers, it goes solid.

There isn't any license protection, I'm sure of that.

Tell him to try or it works with a demo of pro 2 , free available on NI site.
A Traktor product using with VDJ is asking for problems imo....

he's demanding a refund because he believe he should just be able to plug it in and it should work... like his other midi controller. what a headache.

The USB light will flash when it is not recognized AFAIK.. if it is solid, I am sure it means the S2 is ready to use.

yeah the rest of the lights won't just suddenly work unless he has a VDJ mapping that maps these functions. Can he see the S2 soundcard in VDJ?

as far as I know, only the USB light comes on, which only indicates it has been plugged in. I don't believe the rest of the lights have come on. Will the rest of the lights not come on unless he has mapped it to VDJ? Not sure if he's mapped. I'll ask.

If the light comes on and the soundcard is recognised its working. Has he mapped the s2 to VDJ at all?

no, not cracked. like I said, traktor came with the S2, which I sold to someone else. he's trying to use it with virtual dj. I believe he's also tried using it with the demo version of traktor. regardless, shouldn't it still turn on?
