Headphones Playing all the time... PFL doesn't work

[sk8ordie778]

Hi Here is my set up:

M-Audio Fast Track pro
Numark Total Control
Traktor scratch live pro

Hardware:
My speakers are on rca outs 1 & 2. USB is in laptop. Nothing is plugged into the spdif spots on the back. On the M-audio there is a 1/4 inch jack slot for headphones and I have my headphones plugged in there. I have tried pressing the a/b button on the m audio with different software configurations to see if it has an effect. It doesn't from what I can tell.

Software:
I have the M audio chosen as my sound card. When I go to set up my outputs I have 4 options. line out 0/1 and Spdif 0/1. On the output preferences, Master out is set to line out 0/1, for the monitor my only choice I am left with is spdif so I choose that for the monitors. I have the mix set at 100% on both the software and hardware. I'm using stock midi map for my numark.

With this set up The headphones are always playing the track according to where I have the crossfader set. In addition my PFL buttons have no effect on the headphones or anything else for that matter.

How do I fix this so I can listen to a track independently in my headphones from the track playing out of the speakers?

THANKS

How are you using a non Traktor approved sound card with TSP?

Setting mix (or phone mix) to 100% in Traktor results in the master being played through the headphones and nothing else. Setting it to 0% makes it play whichever deck or decks you have marked for PFL through the phones.

The mix knob on the Fast Track Pro should be at 100%, although this doesn't actually affect the headphone output.

+1, set mix to 0%.

You can use TSP with any sound card can't you? I mostly use my audio 8 but you can switch to built in output or jackrouter, lying around somewhere I have an old griffin iMic USB soundcard that was literally one 3.5mm stereo I/O that let me use headphones for cueing before I got my Audio 8 and that worked fine. It's not tied to hardware like serato.

sure, but it doesn't make any sense using TSP with other soundcards than the audio 4 or 8 or a traktor certified mixer, since only these can be used with timecode.

Oh really? I've never tried timecodes with anything else lol.

I guess I assumed the OP was using ghetto time code with cracked software. Sorry OP if your on the up and up. Let us know how it goes.

Ya my bad I'm using Traktor Pro not TSP, I didn't realize the difference. I bought the software and card from a friend so I'm just trying to get it working. I've been working a lot the last few days sorry it took me so long to try it out. Thanks for the quick responses.

I tried turning the mix to 0% nothing changed.. Whether the mix is at 0 or 100 the headphones still play (When the soundcard A/B button is the in A position, when it is depressed the heaphones are off no matter what the mix is set to).
Any ideas?

Also the headphone volume has not effect. I believe this is because these buttons are linked to the monitor setting in the software. Since I am unable to select the headphone slot on my M-audio sound card in the output preferences. Other DJ software works fine with my M-audio sound card but not traktor for some reason.

NM I finally figured it out. Had to pick M-audio ASIO and pick the right output order. Damn that was annoying. THANKS
