@Job > You may have a ground-loop. Consider using a transformer-based hum-eliminator to reduce the noise.

Hey guys. I too own a DDJ-SB, and had this problem just now.

I accidentally nudged my "Mic Level" knob located to the left of the unit, and it affected the buzz noise.

When it's turned all the way down, the buzz appears. When turned all the way up, the buzz is still there.

But when the knob doesn't touch its limits (i.e: full mic volume, or no mic volume), it works fine.

Hope this helps!

The mic volume control knob just keeps on turning.

Sounds like there is some type of electrical grounding issue.  Try using a ground loop isolator or removing the grounding prong on the mixer's power cord.
