| Jerica Salava 29.05.2013 | glad you guys have my back. I feel bad for him. I thought the S2 was truly "plug and play" I thought Traktor would make the S2 feel right at home. > |
| Addie Engbrecht 29.05.2013 | Nah it actually isn't......unless things have changed in versions 2.5 and above it does exactly this |

| Doreen Schurle 29.05.2013 | There's a bug with Traktor where SOMETIMES - for some reason - the transport controls stop working. I have NO idea why it does it, only that it occasionally happens with pretty much every controller I've ever used, including HID ones like the S2/S4 and CDJs. To fix it, I usually mess with the jogwheels while hitting a cuepoint, and usually that frees it up. |
| Jerica Salava 29.05.2013 | play button glows but track doesn't start. oh no. Did you restart the computer ? Make sure the audio output routing is correct. channels 1 and 2 for monitor channels 3 and 4 for master > |
| Georgie Lukowiak 29.05.2013 | So i took loverockets hint, and went to sound check today I select Kontrol S2 (Asio) as my audio device! Everything on the controller works, except for the tracks won't start....? I turn the filter and gain knobs and I see the feedback in traktor, but when I hit play on my S2, the play button glows in traktor, but the track doesn't start.... |
| Addie Engbrecht 29.05.2013 | Ok if you insist on using ASIO4ALL and still want to use the laptop speakers for home then you need to go into the ASIO4ALL control panel and configure it so that the monitoring is on the S2 headphone output jack is on one channel and the other channel has the laptops soundcard. Select the corresponding channels in Traktors audio output section.....done. Obviously you will have to re-configure when you get to the gig |
| Kellie Myrum 30.05.2013 | ^As addition to my last post |
| Alphonso Deitchman 30.05.2013 | An RCA to 3.5mm adapter removes the need to ever use the laptop sound card. |

| Kellie Myrum 29.05.2013 | I believe he got this explained earlier. They plug PA right in his laptop, I assume because of cable connections they have. However there are some cable adapters that can be used as workaround and still be able to play audio out of S2. |

| Kellie Myrum 29.05.2013 | Should be something like Asio L and Asio R set to your master output. |
| Doreen Schurle 29.05.2013 | Probably "High Definition Audio" or "Realtek HD" or something along those lines in the Audio Setup. It'll have WASAPI or WDM next to it in brackets. ASIO4ALL has to specifically be configured for each system, so if you haven't configured it, it won't work. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 29.05.2013 | What sound cards do you have available in the drop-down menu in Traktor's Audio Settings? It would be much simpler to connect speakers directly to the S2. |
| Georgie Lukowiak 29.05.2013 | Don't ask questions, I need answers haha! I use it like that for at home use, and its not really a gig, its for a school drama production and every year I do it, they plug in the speakers right into my computer! I just need to get the sound coming out of my laptop as for now! Gigs, I always play out of the S2, but I get lag sometimes, just someone please! How the hell do I get it coming out of my brothers laptop speakers |
| Doreen Schurle 29.05.2013 | Firstly, if you're using an S2, why do you want the sound to come out of your laptops speakers? And if you're using an S2, why are you using ASIO4All? |
| Neva Sparacino 29.05.2013 | You need to plug monitors it wont go out throug your laptop speakers At least that happen in my Ultrabook |
| Julissa Serrone 28.05.2013 | why do you want sound coming out of your laptop speakers for a gig? I'd want to make sure sound was coming from my S2. |
| Georgie Lukowiak 28.05.2013 | didn't work! I know ASIO4ALL needs to be selected as the audio device, any idea on what im doing wrong? |
| Addie Engbrecht 28.05.2013 | select the laptops soundcard if you want them to come out of the laptop speakers |
