Sound skips, cuts, or is affected by noise. Why is this happening? DJM-S11 rekordbox

There are 4 main factors that can cause this and there are 4 possible countermeasures:

■ Dust on the needle of a turntable when using DVS control
Dust may accumulate at the tip of the needle, resulting in sound skipping, etc. In this case, remove the dust from the tip of the needle.

■When buffer size is the cause
If the buffer size is too low, sound cutting or unwanted noise may occur.
You can adjust buffer size in rekordbox [Preferences] < [Audio] < [Buffer size].
(Windows users can adjust it in [Preferences] < [Audio] < [Setting Utility] < [ASIO tab].)
First, select a large value such as 1024. If the problem clears up, adjust to a value small enough that you don't experience a delay in operation (latency).
*The appropriate value depends on the system environment.

■When the connection or other equipment is the cause
An unstable connection with your PC/Mac might cause these problems.
To solve this, shut down your PC/Mac and disconnect all other USB devices and USB hubs. Then, connect the DJM-S11 directly to a different USB port.

■When your system (PC/Mac) is the cause
Doing the following might solve the issue:
- Quit all other applications.
- Disconnect from the internet and exit security software.
- Turn off wireless connections such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
- Turn off power-saving settings.

If your computer's system doesn’t meet the requirements of rekordbox, it might cause the issue. See details on system requirements [here].
