Topic: Newb having Hercules MK4 (error in asio sound driver) problems

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I am using a Satellite C55-A laptop and running windows 8.

I bought a hercules mk4 and it came with a cd to install the driver info and a supposedly compatible version of Virtual DJ. I have the serial number on the driver so i could register my product after i created an account that way i could use a version that allowed me to hook up my mk4 to the software. I do not want the free home edition.

Okay so heres the issue. I got it all, installed everything, plugged in my driver and vdj asked me for the serial number. I type it in and i get a message saying "error in the asio sound driver." I spend an hour trying anything my tech ignorant self can to get it to work and nothing. I take it to my computer smart friend and he comes back later saying its because the cd that came with the driver gives me VDJ version 6.1.2 and its not the latest version and not compatible. He unknowingly downloads the useless home free version 8 that wont let me hook up my mk4 and gave it back.

This morning, I signed up for a vdj account and got my license for vdj through typing in my serial number. It also gives me the license for version 6.1.2... I download and install anyway and shocker i get the "asio sound driver error" again. I cannot find anywhere to get the license for the latest compatible version and im not buying it unless thats the last choice i have. Please help me or point me in the right direction because I've wasted so much time on a companies laziness and just want to mix already.

The ASIO message is not related in any way to the VDJ licenses.

If you're getting that message then you need to investigate the Hercules ASIO driver. Did it install correctly? Have you correctly configured the VDJ sound settings to use the Hercules ASIO driver?

Ignore what your friend said about VDJ 6.1.2 not being compatible. It came with the product. It's compatible. The Home version of VDJ 8 is not "useless". You can use this with your Hercules by simply purchasing a license.
