Wow! My laptop's realtek HD soundcard has an unlockable 4x2 interface! After giving out on my buggy serato box in Win 7 x64, I decided to try ASIO4ALL with my internal sound card to see if my issues were due to my soundcard or with traktor pro it self.. Alittle background on my laptop, I have a pretty new Acer 7740g with 17" 1600x800, lcd core i5, 4gb ram, 500gb hd, ati 5650, got it at a pretty solid price of $800 on newegg. The only issue was it was running win7 x64, and there are no drivers that work with XP. Sound card wise, the laptop has a realtek HD, with Headphone out/spdif, line out, mic/line in + ati HDMI sound card. After installing ASIO4ALL I realized the ATI HDMI provides 8ch of audio over hdmi, each assignable in traktor, if only there was a box that could convert the 8 digital outputs to analog.. Well I also found out that the headphone and lineout on my realtek HD are actually sperate channels, with using the WDM driver they are linked together, but when in ASIO they are sperate.. So i ran 2x 1/8" stero to dual RCA calbes from my laptop to my mixer and I basically have a built in 4x2 audio interface. Too bad i figured this out 4hrs after I ordered a audio2dj, but I hope this can help others who are trying to get into DJ'ing and don't have a external sound card yet. Summary -------------------- If you get a new laptop with the realtek HD audio sound card and have 2 headphone outputs that are linked together, they can be assigned to separate stereo channels with ASIO4ALL! | |
