ModeratorFirst of all you will have to change your poster name. Rule 7 of the posting guidelines states:
“Do not post as a company/use a company name as your display name, or post links to your company or a company you’re affiliated with”On-topic now. Do you have Rekordbox set to Performance Mode?

ParticipantThanks Dj Vintage.I tried to update profile but nothing seem to be happening (not my luck right now). In the meantime, yes rekordbox dj is set to performance. It’s actually gone worst since my post. I now get frozen screens (laptop and ddj-rzx screens) and horrible high pitch tone through speakers and headphones. CPU usage is fine on rekordbox (only 1 bar) and in task manager. £2500 of kit and I can’t enjoy it. Laptop is HP Elitebook 8770W running Windows 7Pro 64bits with i7 2.7 processor, 32gb ram with 2 Samsung SSD drives. I’ll say well spec above spec for rekordbox DJ. Got event this weekend but it looks like I’ll have to use my Denon controller. Will appreciate any help.
October 18, 2016 at 8:57 am #2456211ModeratorThat does not sound like the right behavior. With the old S-series you had two settings, Serato and other Midi, but that had nothing to do with sound as far as I know, some stuff just wouldn’t work.
Can you set your RZX sound card as your windows sound card and just play music through it (just to check that the sound card bit works ok?) from media player or something?
I’ll check with the web guys if your name can be changed by you yourself. If not we might have to do it for you or you might have to start a new account.
October 20, 2016 at 1:02 am #2456801ParticipantI’m not sure how to use RZX asio as sound card for the laptop because I can’t recall seeing it listed in windows audio mixer but I’ll give it a go.
Regarding the name change I’ll be happy for the tech guys to do it. I was going to change it to “Klass-Mc”. Cheers.
January 4, 2017 at 10:15 am #2486191ParticipantHi Dj Vintage, Just a quick update for your good-self and the guys.After a series of back and forth email with Pioneer guys in Japan and links to a number of “Beta Version Updates” the audio glitches is now 99% sorted on Rekordbox and my Ddj-Rzx as far as audio files are concerned. As for the video, I can play/mix music videos (with the occasional high pitch tone when loading some videos). However, as soon as I double-click Rekordbod video output screen to extend video output to second monitor(even without any monitor connected)
Rekordbox will crash. I’m beginning to
think Rekordbox is uncomfortable with the
graphic card (which I think is nVidia
Quadro K5000M). If this be the case and in
order to actually enjoy this beast (Ddj-
Rzx) I’m thinking of perhaps investing in
yet another laptop. The question is, can
anyone with Ddj-Rzx experience please
please recommend a laptop. Obviously, I
can’t drag the unit to a shop and there’s
no dj shop in my locality. Any advice or
sign-posting will be gratefully
appreciated. Regards and Respect.January 6, 2017 at 1:24 pm #2486511Chuck Van Eekelen
ModeratorOn the IT side of things, I have seen several customers experiencing problems with the drivers from nVidia since the latest big Win10 update. One customer I actually swapped out the video-card for an AMD one and problems solved. Try reading up, there is lots on this issue on Google. And since swapping out a video-card on a laptop is not an option, some of the suggestions might help you.
January 6, 2017 at 4:04 pm #2486591ParticipantThanks Dj Vintage, I’m on Windows 7 Pro platform not windows 10 and I’ve Google for possible optional settings for the graphic card but nothing really answered the question or suggested useable alternative. That’s why I’m thinking perhaps anyone with successful usage history of Ddj-Rzx can recommend a laptop. Some of the advice on Google in fact said to stay away from laptop with AMD card so I’m kind of confused but desperate to use the unit after almost 3 months of buying it. Appreciate your support and thanks.
January 6, 2017 at 4:27 pm #2486611ModeratorThat would be AMD CPU, not graphics card I think. Almost all DJ software seems to prefer Intel CPU.
January 6, 2017 at 4:55 pm #2486641ParticipantMy bad, you’re right. The advice was to stay away from AMD CPU. My laptop is HP Elitebook 8770W, 32gb ram, quadcore i7 with two ssd drive including Samsung 850 pro and nVidia Quadro K5000M. Everything is perfect on Serato, Traktor and Vdj. My problem is with Rekordbox video. Respect.
January 13, 2017 at 8:02 am #2488441ModeratorWell, it’s a product in puberty, getting there but not quite yet adult on all fronts. So, keep them informed. They do have a rep of taking things seriously and changing them relatively quickly if need be.
January 13, 2017 at 10:13 am #2488521ParticipantNice one Vintage and appreciation and respect for your input and support. I agree with you about the usually expected teething problems associated with new equipments. And, in fairness the guys in Japan have been trying but the frustration is the knowledge that there’s a few grands monster piece of kit (DDJ-RZX) packed away in a specially design flight case. I was hoping that someone out there have got DDJ-RZX working perfect or near perfect with a particular brand or model laptop and I’ll be happy to invest in the laptop. Even when I look at MacBookPros out there the specs seems just on the borderline of recommended requirements by pioneer for RZX and Rekordbox. As said, my laptop now (as I recently discovered) is in fact 8-Core i7 (3rd-I believe) with 32gb ram, 2 SSD and the nVidia Quadro K5000M. I know Quadro K5000M is a couple of years old now but it’s a monster GPU and I run Vdj and Serato videos faultlessly with the laptop using Denon MC6000MK2 controller etc. Even low quality videos from mobile phones plays with incredibly brilliant video quality output extended to large screen. I’m still hopeful that one day I’ll be able to enjoy the RZX/Rekordbox, or maybe virtual DJ will crack it!! Bless
