S4 audio help...

[bisco]

Just got my s4, everything is working fine except no audio. Also the ! mark is blinking.
All I have for speakers are regular computer speakers. I would like for the audio to come out of my laptop for the time being.
Also should I have Asio?
Any and all help appreciated. I'm at work so won't be able to mess with settings until this evening.

If you have computer speakers, why do you want audio to come out of the laptop?

Did you install the S4 drivers?

[bisco]

I did install everything that came with it. It was confusing so I think I went with DJ8 or something along those lines, it was the first choice from each option.
I guess I could try to plug my speakers into the s4.
Just trying to figure out the easiest way.

Also my computer speakers would be plugging into my laptop...

You need to choose "Traktor Kontrol S4" as your Audio device in Traktor settings. Plugging speakers and headphones into the S4 is the easiest way.

you need to select your computers soundcard as the audio device the way you have it set up. Obviously this is not ideal for a couple reasons A) Prob not as good of sound quality as the S4 soundcard B) It's not a low latency DJ soundcard like the S4 C) more than likely it has only one channel......meaning you can not use your headphones to monitor and you cannot plug in any external device like a CDJ or turntable.

Thanks again for your time guys.

I was hoping by purchasing this unit that I would be able to use the built in sound card to monitor and cue my tracks.
I have a DJ/iO (Numark) would this eleaviate some issues?
I bought it to use with vDJ and my mpd 32 but alas no luck for monitoring and cueing.
