| Babara Guyll 11.11.2010 | hmmmm......thats weird if it doesn't show the 3 & 4 outs...the only options available are ch 1 & 2? my only recommendation there would be to reinstall the driver software for the i/o soundcard and try again other than that im out of ideas |
| Michaele Mehn 10.11.2010 | Thanks for all your tips but my first problem is: When i select Numark USB Audio Device (asio) in Audio Setup, the only outputs i can use in Outputs Routing is : 1: Out 1 2: Out 2 The only other option is - not connected - Do you know what should i do to see the others Outputs? Thanks! |
| Babara Guyll 10.11.2010 | here is pictures of the adapters!! the green ended cord is from my computer speakers and the red/white cables come from output 1 on the dj i/o soundcard Composite (Red/White) to male headphone jack Double ended female headphone adapter Both put together... And the final product! CHEERS! |

| Michaele Mehn 09.11.2010 | Hello as i have the same questions as you, i felt like making another post would not be a good idea. So i ask my question here. From what i understand, i cannot Cue if i use computer speakers? I have a DJ i/o external soundcard and i was not able to have sound in my headphones and on my computer. Is it normal? Do i need to plug my soundcard to real speakers to be able to cue a song? Thanks! |
| Laine Paskiewicz 07.11.2010 | This is the link to the speakers i am planning on buying http://www.djcity.com.au/packages/speaker-packs_70.html The speakers I am looking at are the 8 inch DJ Party speakers, or the 10 inch.... could someone have a look to check out the inputs and oputs please that would be awsome.. thanks XD |
| Laine Paskiewicz 05.11.2010 | Oh ok thanks heaps man XD XD |
| Leeanna Ayla 05.11.2010 | The Audio 2 will come with a cable that goes from the 1/4 plug to RCA's those will then go to your amp or speakers. The other hole will be for your headphones. I'm not sure about the current version of VDJ. I know previous versions were supported. |
| Laine Paskiewicz 05.11.2010 | O ok thanks......So i would have; VCI-100>laptop>auido>speakers??? i just want to make sure im not wasting my money thats all man XD XD Does the VCI-100 have a mapping for Virtual DJ by any chances? |
| Tatum Ansaldo 05.11.2010 | I'd suggest you read the manual when you get it, The VCI has just a USB cable and the Audio 2 has just a USB cable and 2 1/4" inputs. Really couldn't be simpler. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 04.11.2010 | You need an external soundcard. You can use the built-in laptop soundcard but it will suck and you won't be able to use headphones. Welcome to the community ! |
