USB hub with DDJ-XP2 + 2x CDJ-2000 not working

I have a Renkforce 7 ports powered USB hub with switches which I want to use with a DDJ-XP2 and 2 CDJ-2000's but this seems to be not working with Rekordbox on a Windows 10 desktop machine. Is this even possible?

The DDJ-XP2 and the 2 CDJ's do work with Rekordbox when I plug them into the desktop directly.

Hey Martin,

Could be that the devices simply don't like the hub...? If they work fine directly, that would certainly indicate that the hub is the issue.

Thanks for the reply :)

I think it has to do with a USB power issue. They didn't work really good connecting them into mobo I/O directly because I am getting cracking sound artifacts after 20 seconds or so. After that I put them into a hub which is connected into a PCIe lane in the same desktop on which it works fine now. This internal USB hub is also powered through SATA. However, I would really like to connect them through external HUB. My guess is that I need a better power supply for the external hub, but I'm not really sure. Maybe someone at Pioneer can enlighten me? Thanks in advance!
