I recently installed Virtualdj in my new laptop, yet from time to time songs skip. I am using the Numark IO soundcard connected to a Numark mixer which is connected to an amplifier. As my input in config I use "none", output=headphone and soundcard=ASIO.

Hey,
Can you describe what you mean by 'stops' in more details.
ie, how long does it stop for? does it stop then start again? any stuttering? does it do the same thing each time or does it perhaps vary in length??

What version do you have as 5.2 seems to have stopped doing this for me.

The version is 5.1. It stops for about 1 second or two then continues. No stuttering occurs and the 'stops' happens sporadically; maybe once every 4 songs. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar issue but it gets worse than skipping. I just bought a new lappy and the specs kill every other computer I own, but every computer runs VDJ rock solid but the new one.
The 'skipping' I get is just a hiccup. If it happened once I'd never notice it. Unfortunately it happens over and again, totally sporadically.
The part where it gets worse is when I'm using the computer for other things. I run a trivia game and use Excel to keep score. I get the hiccup most frequently when switching between windows. After a while, the audio will suddenly become garbled and VDJ has to be restarted. My old laptop did this too, but under different circumstances - you had to be surfing the web with that one.
With the new laptop I have tried the Numark ASIO USB sound card and also two cheapie 'thumb drive' style USB sound cards. Both with the same result.
Tomorrow I'm going to tweak the hell out of the PC and turn off all the visual niceties of Vista. Can anyone recommend VDJ and ASIO settings?

Try safe mode ON as well as Performance to the left Fastest with the Latency on Auto
If Safe mode is already on try turning it off

I had pretty much the same problem music stopping and starting at random times thru a show i found it was the wifi card causing the dropouts. i downloaded this nifty little program for free called DCP latency checker and it helped me sort out the problem..now all is well no dropouts or stops and starts..you can download it for free here
