Aloha, been a while :)
long story short, been using ye olde desktop with two soundcards for years anytime I use VDJ, purely home use infrequently due to circumstances - no problems.
Anyways, tried using splitters on gf's laptop for first time as I used to with Atomix back in the day - one soundcard styleeeee. The setup I'm remembering with one soundcard is ... splitter from headphone socket with same connection x2 on thick side of splitter, into that splitter I then plug headphines in one bit and in the other bit, I plug in another splitter which has the appropriate connections to feed hi-fi thru red+white stereo lead.
As far as I remember this gave Me both decks in headphones as required but the hifi only outputted what it was given by VDJ's mixer i.e. crossfader on VDJ all left you heard deck 1, in middle ... both, to the right deck 2 etc
Longer story even shorter - repeating this theory from memory I can only seem to hear both tunes over hifi at all times, same in headphones (one in ewach ear)
What in goodness am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Tipsy Liam
please leave answers for sober Liam as he prob couldn't be bothered searching but drunk Liam was able to rattle this post out lol
(seeing this software grow, even from an infrquent user has been scary, scarily good :) ) keep it up

Also, I have memories of being 'raging' at having to pay for the transition from Atomix to VirtualDJ - how premature that reaction was, even as an extrenely casual user I'm still happy now with purchase :)
Keep up the great work folks :) Ta

I tried every possible setting within vdj, albeit a tad tipsy at the time - gonna fire up desktop and retry while watching the footy tonight, see what I come up with, will check soundcard settings too.
Cheers for input :)

if you have no mixer to feed into and only headphone lappy out put try this...
left channel with y splitter connect speakers
right channel with y splitter connect headphones
in config sound setup you will need to select mixer set up
in sound card select speakers left and headphones for right channel or vice versa
all the above is from memory and has been along time since I last explained this but hopefully it should work for you.

My suggestion...a pair of Numark PHX USB headphones.
With these you output your master channel to the in-built soundcard and the cue (preview) to your USB headphones.
They cost about £40 (look on eBay for a seller called rubadub, that's where I got mine), which represents good value as they operate as normal headphones (you can plug them into a mixer, etc) and as a second sound card system when used with USB.
They come with leather and cloth earpads and USB and jack cables.
