Flashing MIDI light

The MIDI light is flashing on my DDJ FLX4 and can't be read by Serato. I've tried downloading the correct drivers for it and it wont connect. I've made sure that my windows computer is reading it as a controller and from what I am aware of it is.... I have no idea what to do. I am using the USB C chord that it came with so I would assume that it should work. I've tried plugging it in to an additional power source. Nothing. I just wanna use it and I am running low on steam. Please help!!

Does anyone ever answer these queries? I have the same problem and am close to throwing the thing through the wall. I've deleted and reinstalled the software, tried a different usb, connected to a different device to see if its my laptop and still the same. Or do I just send it back on warranty?

Hi there,

If you're on Windows, you need following set up on your computer.

Windows 11

From Privacy & security > Microphone, turn on Microphone access

Turn on "Let apps access your microhone"

Turn on "Let desktop apps access your microphone"

Windows 10

From Privacy & security > Microphone, turn on "Allow apps to access your microphone"

Turn on Allow desktop apps to access your microphone

 

There are also recent issues with USB connectivity due to a particular Windows update.

Please run Windows Update by following the instructions in the link below:

* Although the update that resolves this issue was released on February 24,
it is estimated that it will not become available to all users until around March 24.

If the issue still persists after updating, please follow the steps below:

  1. Disconnect the DJ unit (controller, all-in-one unit, mixer) from the PC.
  2. Restart the PC.
  3. Close all applications running on the PC.
  4. Connect the DJ unit (controller, all-in-one unit, mixer) to the PC.
