Vestax Typhoon w/ Traktor LE - No sound from headphones?

Morning all, this is my first post, my first post of many hopefully.

I can’t seem to get any sound out of my headphones.

I have my controller plugged into a desktop pc and speakers plugged into the desktop pc also. Sound is coming out of the speakers fine and the fader, pitch, effects e.t.c are all working also.

What shall I try to get the headphones working?

I have probably missed something obvious being that this is my first controller, so apologies in advance if this turns out to be the case.

Thank you for your time.

Slice.

are you plugging them into the headphone jack on your computer?

your computer has only 1 output, so to cue with your headphones you need a soundcard

i recommend the audio 2 dj from native instruments for about $100.

i think the typhoon has a built in sound card. this post might help

Yep, use the onboard soundcard for master and make sure monitor is setup correctly in the prefs.

Or if you have a mac you can do what I’m having to do at the moment with my shitty speakers here in spain, make an aggregate sound device so more than one can be used at the same time. I think it’s possible with a PC but I don’t know how.

Headphones are plugged into the controller (Y).

Audio Setup > Audio Device: vestax typhoon

Output Routing > Master: 0 and 1
Monitor: 2 and 3

Plug Speakers into Master output on controller.

Problem is my speakers are logitech pc speakers which have the above circled connection.

Is there anyway round this or will I have to buy an adapter like shown above?

Look up how to make an aggregate/combined sound device.

That combines 2 of your devices into 1 virtual soundcard which you can use in Traktor. I don’t know how to do it on a PC. That way you can plug your speakers straight into the laptop and your headphones into the controller.

However, in the long term getting an adapter or cable would be a better solution.

Also, i suggest that since Traktor Pro licences are currently on a 50% off deal, you should pick one up. It gives you so much more flexibility than LE.

Cheers fullenglishpint :slight_smile:.

Ok so now I have a RCA to RCA cable which I’m using to connect the controller and my hifi.

However, when I select TYPHOON DJ-Controller it says ‘4 In, 2 Out’.

So I can only select TYPHOON DJ-Controller Out 0 and Out 1, there is no option to select 2 and 3.

Any ideas please gents?

11

hmm… the typhoon doesn’t even have 4 ins does it?

are you using asio4all?

12

Maybe this will help gents:

Please advise (Y) :smiley:.

13

How should I set it up?

14

check out Asio Drivers is all I can suggest…

15

Same thing here…
I am already thinking of sending my typhoon back if I cannot resolve this problem this week…

16

Have you all installed Asio4Typhoon? (i think that’s what it’s called), proprietary drivers for windows always seem to suck.

17

I did but traktor tells me “please connect and select an audio device” (wich is connected:leds on, and working with asio4all without changing anything else).
I hate having bought something and not be able or can’t make it work after almost a whole month…
I really think I am gonna send the nice looking little toy to where it came from and buy something else… (surely not from Vestax which does not even answer a mail, super support!!!)

18

ok here I also only have Typhoon dj-controller out 0
and Typhoon dj-controller out 1

but in this case u have to listen to the sound in mono as well as the rest of the people AND it doesn 't change much because out 0 is the left output of the Typhoon and output1 is the right output, but nothing as a 3rd and 4th output for monitoring…
