What if I wanted to use both together? Because when I plug into a system I will be using my soundcard, and I want the jack on my laptop to be used for my headphones because my mixer doesn't have a headphone jack. Is this possible? Or can I route two outputs onto the soundcard and use them both?
What kind of setup are you using?
You can use both of the outputs on the Audio 2 DJ for speakers, 1 output per each speaker. Otherwise, you can use one output to plug into an external mixer, and the other output for your headphones.
Alternatively, you can also use a 1/4inch splitter, and split one side of the audio 2 DJ for 2 speakers, and the other for your headphones.
You can't use any of the audio inputs or outputs on your computer while your Audio 2 DJ is connected. You can only use one soundcard at a time, so you have to make sure your soundcard has the number of inputs/outputs that you want. Otherwise you have to connect it to a separate line level mixer, which is what I did for a long time.
Right now I just have the basic soundcard that came with my HP, and my mixer is a Numark Mixtrack. My mixer has no inputs whatsoever, it's strictly connected to the laptop via USB. So, I usually hook up my laptop directly to wherever i'm playing through the headphone jack. If I get a sound card to be able to hear cued up tracks, will I just plug my headphones into one output and then the system into the other?
That's not a mixer, it's a controller.
+1 on everything TokenAsianGuy just said. I think there are youtube videos out there that explain all of this.
When you use a soundcard, lets say the Audio 2, it has TWO outputs. 1. Output is your speakers 2. Output is your headphones.
You will not plug your headphones into your laptop.
