Try Another Usb Cable; Using A Powered Usb 2.0 Hub; Recommended Usb-Ports - Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ Operation Manual

11.3.2 Try another USB cable

A bad USB cable can be responsible for audio dropouts and other connectivity problems.
It is highly recommended that you try using a different cable if you are experiencing dif-
ficulties; make sure to use a cable bearing the official USB logo.

11.3.3 Using a powered USB 2.0 hub

It is best to connect the AUDIO 8 DJ directly to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. However,
in certain situations a powered USB hub can also be a solution if you are having problems
connecting your AUDIO 8 DJ to an onboard USB port. In this case you should avoid con-
necting other devices to the hub if you can as they will take diminuish the total amount
of power available.
11.3.4 Recommended USB-ports (MacBook Only)
As general rule of thumb, do not use the right hand USB port on a MacBook Pro: This
port is connected to the same root hub as the trackpad. With the AUDIO 8 DJ plugged
into the right port, you can encounter audio problems like clicks or dropouts whenever the
trackpad is reactivated from standby mode.
