DDJ-400 not connecting to rekordbox

I have been using my DDJ-400 at home tonpracticebon for the last 4 months without issues. Last time I used was last night. Allmof a sudden today the controller won’t connect to rekordbox. I have tried updating both rekordbox and the controller, but still nothing. The lights come on when I plug it in, then they go dim and nothing happens when I try to use the functions. I can play through rekordbox by clicking the play button on the screen through my laptop but not when I try to use the controller.

I am having this issue but with windows ten. DDJ-400 wont connect to rekordbox 5.8. typically there is a little message when I plug in the device and that doesn't happen anymore.

Hey Sean, please check that Windows doesn't have the DDJ-400 selected as the default audio device. You can also open the rekordbox preferences on the Audio tab, scroll to the bottom and see if the DDJ-400 is showing as a control device.

Same problem.  Everything has been working well on my 8 year old Toshiba for the last 6 months .  just bought a new HO with Intel 11th Gen i5, whick before I bought I contacted Pioneer and that told me it would work.  Everthing is updated,  Realtek drivers, ddj400 firmware.  firewall down triend versions 5, 6.0 and the newest6.1.5  nothing, but again works well with old laptop. so my controller is fine. Cant beleive there seems to be no fix from Pioneer yet.  frustrating to say the least

"Intel 11th Gen i5"

There's the problem! Our engineers are aware of an issue on those computers where the Realtek audio drivers will potentially cause other audio devices and MIDI controllers not to be recognized. Please check with your computer's manufacturer to see if they have any driver updates available, or any BIOS updates. Short of that, you may need to roll back the version of Windows you're using.

@Armando > The fix is reliant on your computer manufacturer issuing an updated audio driver or BIOS to fix the issue. It's possible that Microsoft could also provide an update to fix it, but from what I understand, you're more likely that the fix is going to come from the hardware side.

@andy > No, it's only due to a conflict between the CPU and the audio drivers at the system level; it doesn't matter if you're actually using the Realtek device or not. Check your manufacturer's support site for updated drivers or BIOS.
