Can traktor work without ASIO sound driver?

HI,
I have a compaq presario cq60 and am using traktor pro. The thing is that i have a realtek soundcard and it only supports smart audio sound driver. Im planning to buy the audio 2 now. Can i work without the asio sounddriver or not?

Yes, it should work, but your latency will suck pretty badly on integrated sound.

So wat do you suggest i should do? Get a new laptop or is possible to get asio on any laptop?

If you buy an Audio2 you can work with it’s ASIO driver.

oh means now when i buy the audio 2 it wont matter which sound driver is installed in my laptop? :smiley:

Asio4all ?

A quality audio interface with ASIO would be better tho.

Nope, since you won’t be using your integrated with Traktor.

Great thanx :smiley:

One more query i have is:

how exactly can i connect a generic mixer to a audio 2 and then mix internally? Can you possibly send me a link to a video or anything else wher that is explained as to where to connect all the wires and the headphones to cue etc..thanx

If you have a mixer you might prefer to mix externally, that way you free those up from your controller.

Internally: Use one output for your headphones, plug the other one to one of the mixer’s line ins.
Externally: Plug each of the A2 outputs to an independant line in of the mixer. plug your headphones to the mixer.

You will need Stereo 1/4 to RCA cables but i think the A2 ships with a pair so that should be covered.

Great!! You sorted me out! Thanx a ton!
