I was all too happy to shout when things were working great but right now I am suffering the very problems described at the start of this thread. I have no idea why, I haven't changed any settings, but I will describe my current settings and what is happening.
So I am finding that 20 minutes into a mix session the signal quality for both decks falls to 0%. If it helps to illustrate further, during callibration I see the vinyl turning but instead of a clear circle I see lots of dots appearing. These appear in both decks no matter whether one or both of the decks are playing.
My settings are buffer number 4, sample rate 48,000khz and latency of 144.
I've noticed something weird in the control panel, though. I have 3 USB ports. Only my U46 interface is plugged in. I have two ports on the right of the laptop and one on the left. Plugged into the right-hand side ports the control panel displays f/w 2.2.3. If I unplug the interface and plug it into the USB port on the left-hand side it displays f/w 1.0.0. Why would this be?
The only other factor is that I am using No.23 Recorder to record my mix at the same time. This has been my setup ever since I got my laptop. As I say, I haven't changed anything so I don't know why this is suddenly happening. If I goto settings and click on 44000khz everything is fine again, as it stays if I click back on 48000khz. I guess this effectively resets the interface.
I now need to take a walk as I'm very
