Serato and Dicers USB port issue
Serato and Dicers USB port issue Posted on: 18.08.2011 by Spencer Kilcoyne Right - I picked up a cheap SL1 box t'other day (mate gets cheap gear from them, so it was virtually free) and the wife had kindly bought me a pair of dicers for my birthdayIssue is, they both seem to like the same USB port on my laptop, and the devices won't start in any of the other two (all USB ports are working, I've plugged my A8 and VCI 100 into the ohters since this issue started and they work fine) If I plug the dicers into port A they work, but in B&C they just go into looping lights mode If I plug the SL1 box into port A it's fine and Serato opens in 'playing' mode, but in B&C it will only go into track analyse mode ... I'm in Windows 7 x64 Professional Anyone got any idea how to fix this? Please Obi-wan you're my only hope ... | |

| Vernie Beharry 13.09.2011 | Or you could try using MIDIfix. . It may not be a fix persay, but it may "clean" up the midi devices you've plugged into your laptop. . .I've used it a couple of times, and it made my dicers or anything else I've ever plugged into my laptop work fine afterwards. http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=...t.drivers&f=84 let us know if you cleared yer issue up! |
| Spencer Kilcoyne 30.08.2011 | I'll give this a crack as well (might help me fix my AKAI MPD24 issues as well ...) |
| Joy Rory 27.08.2011 | 'Clean' all of the USB devices on your PC. How can I do this? Hardware and sounds -> Devices and Printers -> Device control (must be called something like that) Universal Serial Bus-controllers. Undo the installations of the USB hubs and reboot your PC. All the USB hubs will be re-installed once your PC has been rebooted. I hope this will help. Oh, and I'm sorry if the menu names don't really match with your (probably English) version of W7, but that's because I've got the Dutch version... |
| Cristian Carmona 27.08.2011 | this whole i series usb 1.1 is starting to get out of hand I wish windows/intel would fix this asap |
| Spencer Kilcoyne 22.08.2011 | Oh, and it sounds like a known issue with 'i' series PCs and multiple USB 1.1 devices ... http://serato.com/faq/scratchlive#8025 so I've just as hub ... |

| Spencer Kilcoyne 19.08.2011 | Ok, recommendations on a powered hub? |
| May Artman 19.08.2011 | It shouldn't, but its a possibility. The way you described the partial functionality is typical of insufficient power (apc40 for instance will light up but not work when partially powered), and I've used computers before that deliver full power on some ports but not others. |
| Spencer Kilcoyne 19.08.2011 | Not quite sure why a powered hub would help? The laptop ha enough power to be capable of running an A8 and a VCI100SE at the same time, but not an SL1 and Dicers |
