DDJ- SB sound output problem deck 1

Hi,

 

Recently purchased the pioneer ddj sb controller and i get an extremely quiet volume on deck 1 with a feedback sound, deck two is perfectly fine and i have changed rca cables so it is not that, Check the volume button aswell using the headphone jack so dont think that is the problem. Can anyone help me ??

Many computers don't provide adequate power to the devices connected by USB and as a result, issues like this can occur. In order to troubleshoot and test to make sure it's not the DDJ itself, can you please try testing by connecting the SB to a different USB port, a powered USB hub, or even a different computer?

Hi, I'm having the same issue with my ddj sb3 with virtual dj pro on a windows 11 HP laptop. I know it is not the DDJ itself because I troubleshooted it so do you know if there is anything I can do with my laptop to fix the USB power issue? Thanks

I tried using my other USB ports and it still didn't work. I also tried using another laptop which did work.

Ah - if it works with another computer, that could indicate that your computer isn't providing adequate power over the USB ports. Have you considered using a powered USB hub to see if that resolves the issue?

So long as it doesn't have a VIA chipset inside, any are good. Personally, I prefer the Anker brand products and haven't had any issues when using them with PDJ products.

I tried using a powered USB hub but that still didn't fix it unfortunately. It still puts out about half power to either deck after about 5 minutes of playing. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks
