Howdy,
Been using my Hercules mk2 for a couple of years now and had that as my sole mixer when at home. When playing out I have always set it to use the house mixer and used the external mixer function.
I have now bought a shiny new audio mixer. An Allen and Heath Xone 62 which is awesome.
Anyway I want to use it the same way as I do when I play out i.e. route each output channel from virtual dj to a seperate channel on the mixer. However I am getting quite a lot of noise on the channels when I connect them up. It's not there at all when I have my decks connected to the mixer but as soon as I connect from the herc I get high pitched hissing noise. I can sometimes hear when I am opening and closing windows on my laptop too. Something is clearly not right.
Is there soemthing I can adjust to get rid of this?
I have a Dell XPS 1730 laptop.
Cheers in advance.

Can anybody shed any light on this?
I can actually hear a noise when I scroll up and down in a web page!

Uncheck the safe mode in the performence tab.

Hmmm still noise there. This is my performances tab.
I wonder if this is just going to be noise that I can't avoid. Seems like it's too high right enough...

When you same noise do you mean like a ground loop hum or dirty sound? You might need to look into using some ground loop isolator cables instead of just regular RCAs.
See if you can find some with the Male connector at both ends though ...

Also, might think of changing those settings to Latency -> Auto and unchecking the Overclock as well.

Yeh its a bit like a ground loop hum.
I'll see if I can get some of those cables.
Will also try fiddling with the settings. Cheers!

I see you are a UK guy, mate :)
They're easy to get hold off, Maplins do 2 sorts.

I am indeed. Tell tale language was it? :)
So as I am taking two seperate channels from my herc to the audio mixer I'll need to get a ground loop isolator for each channel?
