in theory it should be the same there’s just an adapter involved. i just find it better to have the straightest connection possible when you can as there are less pieces prone to failure, which makes troubleshooting easier.

you had a cable called “Dual make RCA to single Female RCA” thats the link to the first pic you posted
A) You need to make sure that Female end of it, is applicable for STEREO and not JUST for mono. THis could be why you get no sound coming out all together.
B) You posted the pic of your RCA cables but the ends are inserted into something so we cant see if these are STEREO ends either. They could be MONO as well.
How do you know if any end of anything MALE is stereo? Simple… look at it… the part that inserts… it should have TWO black rings on it. If you see ONE, its mono. If you see TWO, its stereo.
Again, you dont know what that FEMALE end of your RCA splitter is.
It has two male ends and a single female end and they ALL need to be stereo. or something is getting turned off.
now explain something very simply to me and when i say SIMPLE
i mean just that. Dont give really deep details
just give the basics
you have apparently the ability to go STEREO ( left and right )output from your mixer.
And you are trying to get the sound to do directly from the back of your mixer / controller and come OUT of your desktop speakers?
Meanwhile the only way to get sound INTO the speakers is
a) a single green plug / wire that sticking off your speaker (right one) and the left speaker is attached with a perminant cord
or
B) your desktop speaker (right one) is perminantly attached to the (left one) ANNNND the right one has a hole in it where you are supposed to plug a GREEN computer soundcard wire into?
my desktop speakers (left and right) are interconnected through a single wire, and another wire to attach both speakers together since one of the speakers supply the power and the single aux chord, which I simply plug into my desktop.
I checked my cables and this what I apparently bought;
1.8M Audio Y-Cable, 3.5mm stereo right angle male to dual rca phono male
Stereo 1/8" female, to 2 x 1/4" RCA male adaptor. That’s all you should need. Plug the RCA’s into you unbalanced output. Plug the speaker cable into the 1/8" female connector. route MASTER to outputs 1&2 in Traktor. This is DJ 101 class stuff, not knocking you kid, but if this sort of thing is causing you problems, perhaps DJ’ing isn’t the hobby for you. You say you have a gig on Friday ! …with laptop/desktop speakers ? Oh Lord +1
But unfortunately I’ll be connected to actual, decent speakers, just wanted to make sure they connected to my desktop ones so I wouldn’t have any issues.
Then you go balanced L out of denon into left aux in on amp / L powered speaker and balanced R out of denon in to left aux in on amp / L in powered speaker.
Then u should just connect the controller(s) USB to your computer.
I cant find a good diagram but imagine the audio 6 is your denon (built in sc)
i just hope you know what you are connecting TO when you get to your gig.
Hope you dont need to use additional RCA’s to get into a channel mixer or something to that effect because if you
dont know signal path an correct connection tools from here, you are going to have a headache when you get there
i bet he simply didnt turn up the volume on the denon.
listen, if you have rca (red and white) from master out on denon to 3,5mm in on your pc speakers, usb to your pc from denon,
routings settings in traktor as manuals say you will get audio from speakers if you turn upthe volume!
The volumes were turned up, my volume indicator on my speakers was reaching red and my speakers itself were on full volume.
If there is a third party volume controller somewhere I don’t know about then it’s probably that, but I think the issue is with the adapter. As I said, the one i bought was:
