Hey everyone,
I am trying to DJ using nothing but my computer, a pair of speakers, headphones and a UCA222 Behinringer USB soundcard but I can't seem to configure them properly. So, the UCA222 is plugged into one of the USB ports on my PC, my headphones are plugged into the UCA222 and my speakers are plugged into the UCA222 into output L/R via white/Red cables. I cannot for the life of get it confirgured correctly in VDJ so my headphones are used for headphone queque and the speakers for main out. Can someone please help me? I have been trying to configure this for weeks.

Should be ok if it has 2 stereo channels (i cant remember but think it does).
In VirtualD sound settings, make sure master and headphones are using different channels out

Not sure. ITs a very old device.
And the Behringer driver (if there ever were any) are probably long gone, not working
So I see Behringer recommend the generic asio4all driver. But this is a driver that require you setup the channels correctly.
Alternatively, it might work without asio at all, just use native Windows drivers. But you might have to set it up as a surround card in Windows to get all channels (and make sure Windows dont assign it as it own default soundcard, both for playback and record, something Windows have a habit of... )

I see from the manual you can use it without asio

Should work out of the box then. Are you getting any errors in VirtualDJ when you click apply at sound settings. Look at the entries in the list

The sound card offers a single pair of USB outputs, so not suitable for proper master/prelisten separation
Read Nr,7 in Page 7 from the device manual.

Thank you all for the replies and help, what would be a good budget high quality sound card that I could use for this purpose... I only have the UCA222 and also an old M-Audio Conectiv Card.. I want to get something that is fully 100% supported by Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Thank you
Thank you

Numark DJ IO2 is a DJ oriented card for example
But any card with separate channel for headphone will do

i can't find either one of those I guess they are older for Canada. What about an https://www.m-audio.com/m-track-solo one of these? M-Audio M-Track-Solo?

still not ideal, you'll need a 4 out audio device [2 stereo channels] unless you want to run mono [which is a viable option]

So here is what I want to do, I want to obviously have a seperate out to main and headphone queque and also want to be able to stream my MAIN out online on twitch so basically, I want to mix on the computer using a keyboard/mouse and stream my main output on twitch. GO, what is a very good high quality super low latency card to get? Is the 4in/4out still a solution for this and if not, what is recommend? Something that is newer and compatible with Windows 10 & 11.

You could use the Behringer UCA222 for Master Output and the M-Audio for Prelisten (Headphones) and see if that works for you before buying anything new.
There is a chance to have some small latency between the two, since you ll be using 2 cards, but worth trying.
So connect your monitor speakers to Master Output of Behringer and your Headphones to the M-Audio, then in VirtualDJ your Audio setup should look like..
Master .... Behringer UCA .. Channels 1,2
Headphones .. M-Audio ... Channels 1.2

DJdad, the latency is too high, I have already tried that. What would you recommend if I were to buy a single new card as a solution that would do this? headphone stereo queue, master stereo out AND the ability to also have my master out play in OBS as an audio source?

How about the Traktor Audio 2?

By the way you do not need OBS when using VDJ. You can stream directly from VDJ.
