Sound Output Issue w/ CDJ900s with DJM2000 and Traktor 2

Hopefully there is an easy fix. I am using Traktor 2 with Audio 8 and 2 X1 Controllers along with 2 CDJ-900 and DJM2000

In Traktor, I set up 4 decks, so 2 CDJs control A&B decks, the audio connections are set under "Line" on the mixer for Traktor playback from those decks.

The C&D are playing back from the macbook, just MP3s. When I need to play my CDs from the CDJ900s, I switch to CD/DIGITAL and everything is fine controlwise.

There is a sound issue when I switch to LINE on the CDJ900 controlled channels in Traktor, the volume is at about 1/6 of the level with barely any base at all the other channels (just mp3s from Deck C&D and playing back CDs from CDJ900s under CD/DIGITAL switch.

Pioneer phone support wasn't able to help. Hopefully someone here can. So the sound issue is low levels and barely any base under LINE when using mp3s from the laptop on channels that are controlled by CDJ900s in my Traktor 2.

Thanks in advance for the help.

@volk1 > Are you still using the Audio8 because of timecode input? If not, why not use the DJM as the soundcard?

There is always for potential in difference of audio levels and you may need to adjust the gain for each input, but be sure you haven't connected your line inputs into the phono inputs.

Still getting static. Is it a voltage issue? What I mean is the fact so much power is drawn by the pioneers, speakers just makes it pick up this as static on the outputs?

No, not a voltage issue, a problem with changes Apple made to CoreAudio in 10.6.8 and 10.7; Pioneer is not alone in this problem, I heard there are some other audio-interface manufacturers with similar problems.

Pioneer is expected to have a release available sometime this month.

Probably not this thread specifically, you can subscribe to the various firmware threads on the forums tho.
