Any USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Windows 10 success stories?

@pedro > Typically those issues would be related to the audio device and not the source. Were you testing the same configuration but without the Thunderbolt drive to see if those same issue occurred?

If thunderbold gives that much Trouble, why not just stick your ddj-1000 in to a USB 2.0 port. My laptop has usb-c as well but i dont have usb-c hostcable tot test it out. I might try it out comming few weeks.

@pulse: I confirmed multiple times that the above DJ equipment (DDJ-1000, DDJ-SZ, Akai AMX ) all work fine in other windows 7 laptops / USB-A ports.

as mentioned, the issue is that I bought the HP spectre 13, and HP refuses to give my money back after 3x "repairs"

Sounds like it's a crappy implementation of an internal systems bridge. Sorry to hear you're having such issues with HP - they've really flushed their consumer level products down the drain the last few years. :(

I managed to get a usb-c hostcable for my windows laptop and gave it a spin.  I get good latency even with the smallest buffer size setting,  no audioartifacts or what so ever.  I do have some minor other issues  on the fx-master channel but that's not usb-port related (it's a software thingy).  I have used loads of usb-audio products before and 1 thing I do know is that they all work best on usb 2.0 legacy ports.  in my case the ddj-1000 seem to work pretty solid on usb-c, but to be safe I use it on usb 2.0 ports anyway on gigs.    usb-audio products are not usb-c's best friends :(

I agree with Pulse, HP is not what it used to be these days. poorly build laptops, usb-issues, their printers are low-quality and you get poor hp-support.

I would try to sell that spectre on ebay or something   in order to get a laptop that actually works.   in case you're wondering: mine is an MSI  GE72 6QD-019NL  never failed me in the past 1,5 years,  not even a single hickup

thanks for the info

I see your point on the MSI GE72 6QD-019NL. This is a windows gaming laptop is which designed to MUCH more intensive applications. Compared to this the HP spectre feels like a sheet of paper (thiness, weight, reliability).

I do some gaming on this thing, yes  (because they run so well  and it's fun :)   but it's also the heart of my studio.  I also have an old 2010 macbook pro   which I bought for about 400 euros 4 years ago   and is still rocking hard on Traktor  and my DDJ-T1
the advantage of OSX is..  you don't have to worry about viruses and stuff.  simply  press the powerbutton and you're good to go.

 Dell XPS 13 9370 - All USB C, runs fine on the USB3.1 or Thunderbolt ports.

Hi,

after a lot of pain I've read the solution by Olivier Frappier: https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360011646626-REKORBOX-5-3-0-BETA-3-4-or-5-3-2-and-DDJ-1000-don-t-like-Intel-turbo-boost-with-my-IntelCore-I5-8th

Now nothing points to USB-C being the culprit anymore; instead the issue was turbo boost. On this specific BIOS this cannot be disabled. 

Solution was setting the CPU to 99% on advanced power settings, or running the CoderBag utility:

PS: the windows April 2018 audio issues were not relevant, as I'm still running on 1709.
