Vestax Typhoon w/ Traktor LE - No sound from headphones?

[slice]

Morning all, this is my first post, my first post of many hopefully.

I can't seem to get any sound out of my headphones.

I have my controller plugged into a desktop pc and speakers plugged into the desktop pc also. Sound is coming out of the speakers fine and the fader, pitch, effects e.t.c are all working also.

What shall I try to get the headphones working?

I have probably missed something obvious being that this is my first controller, so apologies in advance if this turns out to be the case.

Thank you for your time.

are you plugging them into the headphone jack on your computer?

your computer has only 1 output, so to cue with your headphones you need a soundcard

i recommend the audio 2 dj from native instruments for about $100.

i think the typhoon has a built in sound card. this post might help

Dont have Typhoon but it has an internal Soundcard ... yeah?
Its playing out of that not your Laptop. If you can connect your Typhoon outputs to a stereo you will hear it.

I dont know if you can but to hear it out of the laptop you need to select the Onboard Soundcard (thats the Dell) in preferences.
Problem is that Traktor only lets you select one soundcard so you will lose the headphone out on the vestax.

You really should follow the wiring diagram for the Vestax as it shows the connection from the soundcard to speakers (just looked)

Yep, use the onboard soundcard for master and make sure monitor is setup correctly in the prefs.

Or if you have a mac you can do what I'm having to do at the moment with my shitty speakers here in spain, make an aggregate sound device so more than one can be used at the same time. I think it's possible with a PC but I don't know how.

Headphones are plugged into the controller (Y).

Audio Setup > Audio Device: vestax typhoon

Output Routing > Master: 0 and 1
Monitor: 2 and 3

Plug Speakers into Master output on controller.

Problem is my speakers are logitech pc speakers which have the above circled connection.

Is there anyway round this or will I have to buy an adapter like shown above?

[fullenglishpint]

Look up how to make an aggregate/combined sound device.

That combines 2 of your devices into 1 virtual soundcard which you can use in Traktor. I don't know how to do it on a PC. That way you can plug your speakers straight into the laptop and your headphones into the controller.

However, in the long term getting an adapter or cable would be a better solution.

Also, i suggest that since Traktor Pro licences are currently on a 50% off deal, you should pick one up. It gives you so much more flexibility than LE.

Ok so now I have a RCA to RCA cable which I'm using to connect the controller and my hifi.

However, when I select TYPHOON DJ-Controller it says '4 In, 2 Out'.

So I can only select TYPHOON DJ-Controller Out 0 and Out 1, there is no option to select 2 and 3.

Any ideas please gents?
