NI Audio 4 DJ Headphone Out. (SOLVED)

I just bought the Scratch Duo set up, I’ve had a Serato SL1 forever but decided I needed something for the VCI so here it is. Now I’ve been kind of exploring what I can do with the interface, and would like to have it as a sort of permanent install on my MacBook, when it’s not with me at a venue. So, this means that if I wish to be on youtube, with my headphones on, I would like to hear it. Sounds simple enough, right?

I would like to know if anybody has a solution, as there’s really only two problems:
1)apparently the headphone out is only for Channel B (3&4)
-this is great in programs like Live/Reason/Traktor where I can set which output channel to use, but I find no such way for regular audio to be routed.
2)If I connect the Channel A Output (1&2) to the Channel B input, the input LED’s light up but I get no Output.
-which kind of really sucks cause I would guess that would’ve taken care of it.

If anyone knows a workaround I’d be happy to know it, if you want to just bitch about it like i’ve been doing all day, feel free.

The routing options in OS X can be found under Applications > Utilities > Audio-Midi-Setup. Choose “Stream 2” as your default output and you’re good to go :wink:

Ah the damn utilities folder, I was going into the system prefs. Very well, thank you much good sir. By the way, in case anyone has this same “issue,” I had to disconnect the sound card and plug it back in, and then change it to stream 2, and it worked. Also if I open the Audio/Midi utilities back up, it goes back to stream 1 for some reason.
