Physically Re-Configure The Audio 8 Dj; Check Your Irqs (Windows Only) - Native Instruments Audio 8 DJ Operation Manual

11.7.4 Physically re-configure the AUDIO 8 DJ

Try different USB ports
Connect the AUDIO 8 DJ to another USB port on your computer. Try all USB ports on your
computer until you find one that works best.

Check your IRQs (Windows only)

IRQ stands for Interrupt Request. This is the way in which Windows allocates resources to
the various devices and ports in your system. If your AUDIO 8 DJ is on a port that shares
an IRQ with other devices, you may have an IRQ conflict. This means your sound card is
not receiving the resources it needs to function properly. Here is how you detect an IRQ
conflict.
►
Open Start > Run and type the word msinfo32 and press ok.
►
Your system information window will appear.
►
Click the Plus (+) sign next to h
►
Click on irQ .
s
►
Your IRQs will be displayed in the window to the right.
►
Your USB port will show up as USB universal host controller in the list.
►
If the IRQ number listed next to any of these ports is sharing with other devices in
your system, you may have an IRQ conflict. In this case, physically connect the AUDIO
8 DJ to another USB port.
►
If this does not work, and your computer is a desktop, you may be able to change the
IRQ allocation from within the system BIOS (depending on your motherboard). However,
with most laptops it is not possible to change IRQ allocation. You may need to reinstall
your operating system for a better IRQ configuration.
