Reply to new to the traktor game with kontrol s2. having major issues, please help!

Old school sl1200 guy here. I just picked up a s2 for a overseas trip I'm going on, it came without software but I was able to download traktor 2.5. The s2 also came without a ac adapter, guitar center guy mentioned it was usb powered also.

software is installed and seems to work, kontrol s2 does nothing except flash the usb light. I have tried watching numerous videos/reading lots of threads but can not get this thing to work for the life of me. I installed the s2 maps and tried changing numerous settings but the controller does not kontrol anything but my wallet.

plug and play I thought, very wrong I was.

I read something about setting the in-out ports to something but I don't have any options to select in the in-out port selection. Really getting frustrated here, please helpppp.
