    and I went epileptic.

    Seriously, the LED indicator of the SNAP function keeps flashing for no reason, even after computer restart, hardware restart and all that ju-ju.

    This fuss me : the snap functions still works perfectly, the SNAP button lit/unlit depenging snap is on or off.

    I'll wait a few days before this resolves. I've got no hurry, and maybe, for wathever reasons, everything will be solved. But maybe ya folks got some insights about it too.

    No it does not Flash in the software,

    For me too it keeps on Flashing for no reason.

    I don't get any audio drop out' or Glitches, the Volumes Knobs are set correctly.

    Even if i try switching buffer size it doesn't stop the Flashing Exclamation mark.

    Is your Snap Button on the Kontroller flashing as well as the Warning Sign?

    Is your laptop power supply plugged in?

    The 'Snap' button has its own light in it. The 'Exclamation mark' light flashing is completely unrelated to the snap function.

    Can you confirm if the Snap light is flashing as was as the Exclamation mark?

    It does post some confusion due do the light's position above the Snap button.

    i have noticed the exclamation light above the snap button comes on when i use the job wheels. No other noticeable effects though, other than the light flashing away. Doesnt come on at any other time.

    Yeah, the "Alert Sign" will flash when there is heavy CPU load which can easily be caused by scratching or scrubbing with the jog wheel.
    Nothing to worry about, its working as intended.

    No my Snap button isnt flashing only the warning one.

    My CPU doesn't go higher then 15% at most...

    Anyhow, it doesn't really bother me, just wondering why it keep's flashing.

    Headphone volume too low?
    S4 not connected to the mains power?
    Laptop not connected to the mains power?
    High CPU load?

    All cause the Alert Sign to flash.

    Well thanks Karlos, I manage to find the problem : laptot unconnected to the main power.

    But I also discovered that during that session, Steam was running, downloading things and syncing others. And Steam on Mac is one of the worst software when it comes to CPU efficient usage...

    @ Karlos,

    I got none of those....

    Headphones volumes is near wide open, both the S4 and the Laptop are connected with the power outlet an di don't have high cpu load.

    CPU doesnt even twitch more then 15%.
