Headphone Cueing while using Internal Soundcard? Posted on: 25.01.2013 by Rubye Feicht So I have a nice 5.1 system I'd like to use for outputs, and this is possible using my desktop's onboard 5.1 soundcard and making traktor use that, but I can't cue with my headphones now (using S2's soundcard). Is there a way to do this? Thanks. | |

Also you won't be able to use timecode since the aggregate sound card is no longer a certified device. A computer 5.1 system will probably not have its own processing system and typically relies on the computer for that, so the delay may not be so bad. |

| Edwina Fagel 02.02.2013 | WUT? Music is mostly in stereo. If you have an usual 5.1 home setup then there is no difference between using 6 different channels then just the regular stereo. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 02.02.2013 | You CAN use 2 sound cards together with Traktor if you aggregate them, for Windows you'll need ASIO4ALL software to do this, whereas Mac users can do this with the Audio MIDI Setup within OSX. It would probably be better to connect your 5.1 system to the RCA output of the S2 though. |
| Jeromy Bana 02.02.2013 | In general, you should not run your DJ gear though 5.1 or 7.1 systems. You will find that in most of these systems, there will be latency from the front and rear speaker set even with sound fields turned off. additionally, the entire system might have slight latency that you will notice if you did have the headphones working... some systems will allow A + B setups and not have as bad of a latency issue. if this is an on-board sound card, i doubt is is a as good as your S2's sound card. they have pretty nice DAC's. To answer your original question though, no. I am almost 100% positive that you can NOT use 2 sound cards with traktor at once. I cant even use my s4 and a10 at the same time. |
| Awilda Boggie 27.01.2013 | I'm not sure about traktor but temporarely you could use VDJ. (you need to map your s2 however to VDJ) with VDJ somehow it's just easier to play the master via PC and cue via headphones (connected to your NI device) |
| Rubye Feicht 26.01.2013 | If I do that, I wouldn't be able to use my full 5.1 system and thus not my nice sub either. |
| Harley Zitka 25.01.2013 | You need to plug the speakers into the S2 |
