My old system has worked perfectly for several years. I just upgraded from an i3 laptop running windows 7 and VDJ7 to an i7, 2.4g Laptop with 12 gigs of ram, 1 gig nvidia video card and windows 10. The system has started to do all kinds of weird stuff since upgrading.
1. Faders and slider will work fine for a while and then start to act up, requiring a re-start of VDJ.
2. Deck 2 display does not work in real-time while a song is in deck 1. It will update time code #s every few seconds. If no song is loaded in deck 1, it works fine. If I play a CD in that deck, it works fine.
I haven't even tried to play videos or Karaoke yet. I am worried what will happen. Any suggestions?

1. Could you explain "act up" ?
2. Goto VirtualDJ Settings-->OPTIONS tab and search for the setting ControllerRefreshRate (in Advanced Options). Try to set it a value around 40 or 50 (instead of 0 default value)

I will try the refresh rate change

What is the fader doing? For some reason, the fader will just start working improperly. The fade does work, but only for deck 2. The audio from deck one will stay up regardless of fader position. Example; with both decks playing and fader to the to the left and all you hear is deck 1. If you move the fader to the right, you will hear both decks 1 and 2.

I changed the refresh rate and that seemed to help the display issue. So far, the system is working ok. I am leaving it setup in my office so I can try it out several times this week to insure it will work reliably. I am cautiously optimistic. I will keep my old computer with me at the next several events to make sure.

Please follow my instructions.
Select the 4 Decks Default skin of VirtualDJ
Right above the Crossfader in the skin, there is a small button "Mixer Options" Click to open the menu and select Mixer Order 3 -1 -2 -4
Have the Crossfader of the Mixdeck in the middle position.
Use just the Volume Faders of the Mixdeck and see how the Volume faders move on the screen (skin). Does the Channel order match (like a mirror) between the Hardware and the Skin ? So is 3-1-2-4 order on both ? If not , please explain which Skin fader is controlled by which Hardware one.
Also try to select Mixer Order 1-2-3-4 from the Mixer Options menu and see if the order is matched now.
[*] without moving the Crossfader, does the sound comes up properly each time you use a Volume Fader from the Hardware (Mixdeck) ? If not, please explain.
[/list]
PS. In case sound comes out properly from Master Output, but Headphones is not working as expected, please take a look at this page .. http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Pre-listening%20with%20headphones%20with%20Sound%20cards%20without%20ASIO%20drivers.html
- Make sure that the USB Audio switch on the back of the MixDeck Quad is set to PRG/CUE.
- Set all of the mixer channel source selection switches to USB/MIDI.
- In VirtualDJ Settings-->AUDIO tab , make sure the Audio configuration is as follows..
[list] - Master - Mixdeck sound card- Chans 1,2
- Headphones - Mixdeck Sound card - Chans 3,4
Also try to select Mixer Order 1-2-3-4 from the Mixer Options menu and see if the order is matched now.

Switch is set properly on the back of the unit. We didn't change it from the version 7 setup. We are not using the 4 deck skin we are using the 2 deck skin (Default Virtual DJ 8). There is a small tab on top that allows us to switch between 2 and 4 deck skins. The audio setup is as you described as well.
On the controller...We use channel 1 for the wireless mic. channel 2 is USB/Midi (left player), channel 3 is usb/midi (right player), and channel 4 is used for aux inputs such as a phone or tablet. This setup has worked well with our older laptop and VDJ7 for a long time.
This is what it is doing wrong. If you start the system normally, everything works fine. If you make any changes to the settings (even search setting) the fader starts up again. With the fader to the left, it will play the song in the left player fine. You can cue up a song on the right side player with no issues. When you move the fader to the right the second song will fade in, but the song on the left side player will not fade out. The only thing that fixes this is restarting VDJ. This issue also occurs anytime we switch the channel from midi to CD or aux and then back to midi again. It also happens when we try to use the CD players and go back to VDJ.
This is very frustrating. I like the new features in VDJ8, but may need to go back to 7 to get everything working reliably.

I am in need of assistance, not attitude. I need my system to work in the configuration that we use it in. If you are not able to do that without getting snippy please refer this issue to someone who can!
