Hey guys,
ive recently started djing for money using my pacemaker and i want to start using my pc, ive noticed my old soundcard has been very outdated and wont let me listen to one track in my headphones and the other out of my speakers. So i was wondering if anyone who has any good experience in this could tell me were i could purchase a USB soundcard that can let me plug my headphones into aswell as my speakers (3.5mm jack) that is a USB to go into my computer to work with my PC
Thanks in advance,
steve

To be able to pre-listen to music using headphones, you will either need two sound cards or a sound card with multiple outputs, such as a 5.1 surround sound card or preferably a dedicated DJ sound card (E.g: Numark DJIO or Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ.) With a laptop, you can add a USB stick sound card that will provide you with the additional output that you need.
Alternatively, you can use a single sound card and the mono split option in VirtualDJ's sound setup, however this will only give you MONO sound. You will need a splitter cable to split the left/right channels - Please search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono
Once you have suitable sound card(s), you will then need to go into VirtualDJ CONFIG -> Sound Settings and choose Outputs: Headphones and select the appropriate sound card(s).
NOTE: In Home FREE, sound card options are limited. You will need a 5.1 card built into your computer to be able to headphone pre-listen, or use the MONO split option. For more advanced sound configuration, such as two separate cards or an external DJ sound card, you will need to purchase either VirtualDJ Basic or VirtualDJ Professional: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html
To choose which deck to pre-listen to, press the TAB key or click PFL button on the skin. Use the crossfader and/or volume sliders to control which deck is output live over the master outputs.

Yes, it has two separate stereo outputs - One for your master output to your speakers and another for separate headphone pre-listening.
You can also use it to output separate left and right decks to an external audio DJ mixer if you wish (Providing you purchase a VirtualDJ product that supports this configuration, such as Basic or Professional: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html )
NOTE: VirtualDJ Home FREE does not support external sound cards - You will need to purchase a VirtualDJ product such as Virtual Basic or Professional to use Numark DJIO: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html

If budget is not an issue, I suggest DN-X1600 from Denon (It's what I use). Mixer, Sound-interface, and Midi-controller all-in-one.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding Numark's DJ IO not working with Windows 8?

My suggestion would be not to dig up an old topic to post something you've already asked about.
Second to that, the best people to ask are of course Numark. They have a support site at community.numark.com
