Envivo usb DJ controller

[christy]

Hi, apologies if this is duplicating any previous posts but I haven't found an answer to my problem. I bought the Envivo USB DJ controller (ENV-1274) from Aldi's a while back. I loaded it onto my old laptop which ran Windows XP and it worked fine apart from it being extremely slow loading and analysing audio tracks. So I bought a new laptop which runs Windows 8.1 with Bing. The new laptop didn't have an optical (dvd/cd) drive so I transferred the exe file from my old laptop via flash drive and it has loaded fine. I've even downloaded the latest software version of mixvibes (Cross DJ LE 2.6.0). If I don't connect the controller when I load up the software it will prompt me to connect it. So once that is connected the software will load. However as it finishes loading the software I get a brief flash from the buttons on the controller. That's it. When I try and use the controller with the software it just simply doesn't work. No lights are lit on the controller. Having done some research it seems it may be a USB issue? I believe my laptop has 2xUSB 3.0 ports and 1xUSB 2.0 so I tried connecting the controller to each USB port but still it won't work. Please please can someone help resolve this issue?

Hi Christy, Welcome to MixVibes.

The issue is related to the use of MIDI via USB in W8.1.
First check of envivo has any updates (driver/firmware or such). To my best knowledge the controller isn't sold as W8 compatible...

Still some hope...
Remove the driver for MIDI.
Reconnect the controller to your USB2.0 port.....
Most controllers are class compliant which mean the driver 'installs' direct from the device.

If still no luck:
