Software & setting:
Win XP SP2
VDJ v 5.1
Latency settings: Auto (when I use the Xponent)
DirectX 9.0c (Oct 2007)
Hardware:
HP laptop NX9420
CPU Intel core 2 T7200 2 GHz 2000
Video ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
Memory 2GB
External HD (fire wire 400)
Sound card / controller 1: Hercules DJ Console MK2
Sound card / controller 2: Xponent
(I'm connecting just one controller at the same time)
The problem: crackle
When I play music from WMP11 the sound is good no crackle at all (the sound play via the card Hercules or Xponent)
But when I open the VDJ I have from time to time crackle (approximately 4 crackles per minute) what can be the solution?

Try Setting your mk2 to Asio mode, then try virtualDJ.

Go to the Soundsetup tab and make sure the Ultra-Latency is checked.
In the Performance tab - make sure SafeMode and Overclock are UNCHECKED
Update your DirectX to the latest version - March 2008 -- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=740AC79A-5B72-447D-84F9-EE6407ED1A91&displaylang=en

Thanks for the suggestion I did update DirectX to the latest version - March 2008
Ultra-Latency is checked Safe Mode and Over clock are unchecked
but the crackle STILL THERE!
I have VDJ since ver 3.2 I don’t remember if I had this problem then but I know that in ver 4.x and 5.x I had it.
When I play dance or house music it is very difficult to notice this crackles but when I play some soft or slow music it is very annoying.
All the time I put the blame on Hercules but now after I purchase the Xponent it remain the same problem
Some note
1. If I use the VDJ with built-in soundcard of the laptop I don’t have the crackle
2. If I paly music on WMP11 with one of the soundcard Hercules or Xponent I don’t have the crackle
3. I can reproduce the crackle if I put the mouse and move the panel line on the browser (only with the USB soundcard Hercules or Xponent)
4. I play also VJ and I use VOB file some of them are 500 MB and my laptop handle it very easy I use this laptop only for DJing so there isn’t any other software or applications

Your report is very clear and organized. If only everyone could write like that ;-)
Do you use an USB mouse? Maybe the mouse is the problem...
Something that you can test too:
"How to manually manage processor time" ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417/en-us )
=> select "Background services"

thanks for the compliment :)
any way i disconnected the mouse and manually manage processor time to Background services
but the crackle still there
I have two last steps be4 i will give up (maybe 3)
1. upgrading to XP SP3
2. new XP (sp2) installation
3 Vista 64 SP1 can be an option????
i will give u my conclusion after i will do it
