My speakers start to crackle if i turn on virtual DJ. I tried all the performance settings like latency auto and safe mode on and still the same sound coming out. Yesterday I had a gig and the music started to crackle a lot but no one really noticed so its not urgent but I notice it and I like to hear quality music. So if someone can help that would be awesome.
Also I have the ASIO driver 1.07 that came with my virtual DJ program and I wanted advice if I should use that one or the ASIO4ALL driver instead. Which one works better?

VMS4 has native ASIO drivers so there is no need to use any other. ASIO4ALL is a generic driver for devices that have not native ASIO drivers.
Crackles in sound are present due to bad computer performance or very low selected latency.
For optimizing your computer to be able to handle the lowest possible latency, follow instructions given here .. http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Common%20PC%20Performance%20Issues.html

I just want to share a solution for a crackling sound from my Numark iDJ3.
I think that this solution can work for other models of Numark controllers.
I bought my Numark iDJ3 about 6 months ago and conected to my Laptop Acer Aspire Model 5536
with Windows 7 Ultimate, running Virtual DJ 7 PRO, it worked perfectly, BUT a week ago
I had to erase my hard drive and make a clean installation of Windows 7, so I installed
Virtual DJ software and SURPRISE I began to heard a crackling sound from my Numark iDJ3
and the music don't played well, I tryied to fix it with the virtual dj settings but it doesn't work,
so what could happen? Why before reinstalling Windows 7, virtual DJ worked perfect and now it doesn't?
well, results that is a latency problem caused by don't had installed the original drivers for Windows 7 Ultimate version
from from Acer's support page.
You see, When you only install windows 7, you can check in Device Manager if there's a problem with or a missed driver by
a ! or ? mark in the harware lis, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY TYPE OF MARK, so I assumed that where no problems with the drivers,
BUT it results that the drivers that windows 7 install can work but they aren't the best for the hardware performance,
so I decided to download all the drivers availabe for the harware of my Acer Aspire 5536 from the support page (www.acer.com)
that is: audio driver, video driver, lan driver, mouse driver, modem driver, etc, ALL OF THEM AVAILABLE, and gess what
PROBLEM SOLVED ;) Now I heard a quality soun from my Numark iDJ3 and Virtual DJ performs excelent.
My advice is that you install all the drivers available from the web support page of the brand and model of your laptop/PC(HP, Dell, Acer,etc)
for the version of the Windows that you had installed(XP, Vista or 7), beacause it's difficult to know what specific driver is or are
causing the latency problems, so install all drivers available not only the audio driver or the video driver.

just do what djdad said, use the link.....
get DPC latency checker , and GameBooster both free
yer VDJ DOESN'T crackle.... it doesn't snort or guffaw either
you need to make some common optimizations to your computer
VDJ and any other music software will run fine if the Operating System "environment" you use doesn't interfere

Hey all,
I just registered to post up some helpful info. I know this is an old post, but I have an iDJ3, and have always had soud issues (crackling) coming from both the RCA and headphone outs on the iDJ3.
I would always have to use the headphone output of my laptop to connect it to my amp. While this did work for my needs, I originally got the iDJ3 so I could use the RCA out for my amps.
After searching though many forums, including here, Numark, and many others, I had started to give up on ever fixing the issue. I've had this problem for almost a year, and I though I would never get it fixed.
Fast forward to today, I have found the solution to my issue. I've also been following other users with this issue, and most users have been using their iDJ3 on a HP laptop running an AMD processor, and running Vista or 7.
I personally am using a Compaq (HP) CQ40, AMD Athlon X2 64-bit.
The issues are with AMD itself. I read this before, but never though much about it until now. You will need to get the HP AMD USB Filter.
Now this is VERY important. HP has MULTIPLE VERSIONS of the filter. The important thing to look out for is between Vista and 7. They released filters for Vista, and they state they are compatible with 7. IT WILL NOT WORK. If you have Windows 7, make sure you get the one for 7.
I had tried the Vista version on my 7, which didn't work, but then realized they had the 7 version.

I posted this information here because google would always show this as the first result when searching for iDJ3 sound issues, or iDJ3 crackling, and other variants.
Hope this helps with all that are having issues. I wasted money on getting another laptop (a mac), and plenty of time with this issue. Hopefully this message will spread and save others from all the headaches!
