OK, This should be an easy fix. lets start at the beginning so we know whats going on. You have a MK2 unit with VDJ home edition. You loaded the disc in and auto ran the disc.
1st up is the hercules software then the drivers for XP.
2nd up is VDJ software
3rd: it asked you to plug MK2 in USB or unplug unit and plug back in.
4th: The drivers will be installed ( should be 4 sets of drivers - if you miss one set, something is not going to work )
DO NOT UPDATE ANY DRIVERS UNTIL YOU KNOW THESE DRIVERS WORK- THEN YOU CAN UPDATE> THIS WAY IF THE NEW DRIVERS DON'T WORK FOR YOU, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO BACK TO ORIGINAL AND WE CAN FIX THE NEW DRIVER SETUP WITH YOU.
As a test, reboot computer with usb attached. Your MK2 should light up then go out when computed is connect to usb unit. Open up you VDJ. Go to config > Setup > speaker/headphone> VDJ console> normal mode
Go to remote> DJC should be checked with a green light.
Place a song in deck A and B
play deck A and move the headphone switch to a then b and back to a to make sure the midi sees the movement. Do the same thing for deck B.
The Mix and SPLIT functions will activate with moved back and forth but it will work. It just takes a little time to get used to the movement for the midi to see the movement.
If I put the MK2 in a different USB port than normal and I miss a driver. I usaully miss the headphone driver almost every time. Now I put all usb in the same ports everytime now.
This should get the unit working. I may have missed a step since I'm at work and doing it by memory. I'm sure someone will help out the thaughts.
Have fun mixing

With the assumed settings for headphone output in sound setup (main out 1&2, headphones 3&4), you should have your speakers plugged into output 1&2, not 3&4.
Try it ;)
Try it ;)

the headphones are plugged directly straight into the headphone port at the forn of the consol and i got some pc speakers plugged into output 3/4 at the back when i play a song in deck a it plays it and when i switch to deck b it plays deck b song but the problem i got when im switching all that its switching the speakers like when i go on deck a it plays deck a out of the speakers when i go on split it plays both songs one song out one speaker the other out the other realy i want one song playing out the speakers and one out the headphones but nothing is going right :(

Plug the 1/8 plug into 1/2 channel output. The 3/4 output channel is reserved for headphones for you setup. The only time you should be plugging anything into 3/4 output channel if your using an secondary source.
The mix function with play both songs in headphone at the same time in each ear and you have train your ears to seperate the sounds.
The split function will play both song in headphone but one song in each ear. So the focus is on one song or the other...

Did you try plugging your speakers into output 1&2, and check the sound setup yet? Is there something else plugged into your 1&2 outs? If not, just give it a try...You might make yourself very happy :D
What you are describing is exactly the way the headphones would behave, but through your speakers. The thing is, if your sound setup (in VDJ) is using output 3&4 for headphones, output 3&4 will follow that convention even though your actual headphones are plugged into the front (just like mine are). I use output 1&2 for main out and I've never had any trouble.
