Hi, these are really strange symptoms.
Since they are all 4-deck controllers, it's possible that the right side is switching to the fourth deck.
But I have no idea what could be causing this, as you can play using decks 1 and 4 normally.
When the freezing occurs, try using the keyboard to determine if deck 2 is not working with keyboard shortcuts.
Perhaps keyboard shortcuts for deck 4 will work.
It's also possible to change the side assignment to the deck number, but I don't know if you could accidentally trigger something like that.
The strangest thing is that this is happening with 3 different controllers, so accidentally changing the deck number assignment is out of the question.
I'm guessing you've tried reinstalling everything and the freezing is still occurring. I have no idea where to look for the cause. Regards.
