Hi everyone, I need some help with my Typhoon

First of all, hi guys and girls.

As my name already gives away, I'm a complete newbie to DJ'ing and after a house party I was at recently, I got a chance to tinker around with a Controller.

I was pretty hooked and went and got myself a Vestax Typhoon.

Here's the problem though, after reading a few older threads here, I got myself a copy of Traktor Pro (instead of Scratch Pro like I had earlier). However, I can't get it to work.

The buttons seem to respond to what's happening on the screen (Play, etc.) but I can't hear anything :(. I checked all the levels on the unit and on the PC.

However, I can see some sort of activity on the levels in Windows, I just can't hear it.

My setup right now is just the Typhoon connected to my laptop running Windows 7. I was hoping to run the sound through the laptop itself instead of a headset or a speaker, would that be possible?.

Could you guys help me set my Typhoon up :(?.

Thanks a lot in advance!.

Right now, it's giving me that MIDI blink thing whenever I push anything :(. And yep, this is Traktor Pro.

download asio4all drivers install
go in to traktor settings,audio
change soundcard to asio4all
change output to 0/1 or 0/2 or whatever it gives you
play a track if still now sound chang output to 2/4 or 3/4

Thanks for the reply,

I got the Asio4all drivers but I only see

'Headphones/Speakers 1'
'Headphones/Speakers 2'

in the Output options :(.

probs best posting a screen cap of the settings and sound card drop down box
i dont know much about the typhoon,but there has been many a thread about this controller and its problems

Sure thing, here are a couple of screencaps :

try switching to 2-typhoon dj controller in audio setup press play on a track
if nothing happens keep track playing and go to output and see if u can change it if it gives u a bunch of opitons mess about with them,all so make sure your volumes are up on the typhoon

For some reason now I can't even load a track onto a either deck :S

This is really frustrating >.<

Alright, I reinstalled Traktor Pro and got v1.2.4

The crossfader and the left level slider seem to make the ones on screen move, the other doesn't. Also the play buttons seem to work the same.

However, instead of the 'MIDI' blinker, I now have a 'CTRL' blinking whenever I do anything.

I imported the TSI too.

I still can't add tracks though :(.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or could anyone suggest something?.

update to traktor pro 1.2.6
