Had a problem with Hurcules MK4 last week. Had everything up and running before gig. when I went to start the gig had no controller response. Since I hadn't started yet I just restarted pc and it was okay. about 2 hrs in my controls were gone but still had sound. a few minutes later the sound cut out. Through on a cd and restarted the pc (windows 10) this time controller was there for about 5 seconds and didn't come back up. Had to let a premixed cd run the rest of the night. Now at home I can't recreate the problem. I don't know if it's just that the controller is getting old, or a pc problem? It's a dell laptop about 8 months old. I have sometimes had trouble getting to recognize the MK4 as a sound card, but always got it up and running with restarting pc. never had it drop out before while a session was running. Any ideas?

2 things come to mind. Bad usb cable. Or your latency is too low. I ran my mk4 at 15 ms

In case you are not sure how to configure the ASIO driver, look at this document:

As well, you might want to optimize your system for DJing, as described here:
