Dec 11, 2016  Yes, ASIO usually gives exclusive access to the soundcard to a single application, and is usually considered beneficial. If you were using ONLY the DDJ-SB2 in Mixxx with ASIO, your internal soundcard would not be blocked. Jun 21, 2011  Asio Panel won't open(FW1884) Hello, New problem now, S6 windows xp64, running s6 32 bit version. When I go to tools, audio, and click on the asio panel at the bottom to change the latency, the asio panel will not open. Please use the 'ASIO Control Panel' button from inside your audio application in order to adjust the driver settings instead. About every audio application has such an option and the desktop control panel is only for those few that do not. ASIO4ALL will definitely not do anything to the sound output of your games etc. Project Management.

  1. Bambamdill Home user Member since 2012 Hi, recently i bought Numark Mixtrack Pro. I have some questions to ask people who use Mixtrack Pro from long time: 1. I use it with ASIO4ALL drivers and i would like to know what are the best settings (ASIO buffer size, latency compensation and options) in ASIO4ALL for this device?
  2. Jan 07, 2018  Do you have multiple sound cards? When Asio4all doesn't work for me, it is usually because Asio is configured for the wrong sound card. In Mixxx, make sure that ASIO is selected + Master is set to ASIO4ALL (looks correct from your 2nd screenshot) in preferences. You should then see a green icon in the taskbar - click on it.

Configuring Sound and Audio Devices

Most computers have audio recording and playback devices such as sound cards, microphones, headphones, and speakers (built-in or external). Use Control Panel's Sound program to configure these devices.

You also can customize system sound effects, which are audio clips (beeps, chords, or music snippets) associated with system events such as emptying the trash or error messages.

To control sound volume:

  1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Adjust System Volume (under Sound) (Figure 4.29).

    Figure 4.29 The Volume Mixer lets you adjust the master volume (at left) and, independently, the volume of individual programs that appear in the Applications section (at right). To open the mixer quickly, right-click the Volume icon in the notification area and choose Open Volume Mixer.

    or

    Click the Volume icon in the taskbar's notification area (Figure 4.30).

    Figure 4.30 This slider controls the volume for your speakers or headphones.

  2. Drag the slider to lower or raise the volume.

    or

    Click the Mute button to turn off sound.

To configure playback devices:

  1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Playback tab.

    or

    Right-click the Volume icon in the taskbar's notification area and choose Playback Devices (Figure 4.32).

    Figure 4.32 The Volume icon's shortcut menu provides quick access to sound functions.

    or

    Choose Start, type sound in the Search box, and then select Sound in the results list.

  2. Right-click a device in the list and choose a command to configure or test the device, or to inspect or change its properties (Figure 4.33).

    Figure 4.33 A playback device's shortcut menu lets you set up the device—usually speakers or headphones. Click Properties for more options.

  3. When you're done, click OK in each open dialog box.

To configure recording devices:

  1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Recording tab.

    or

    Right-click the Volume icon in the taskbar's notification area and choose Recording Devices (refer to Figure 4.32).

  2. Right-click a device in the list and choose a command to configure or test the device, or to inspect or change its properties (Figure 4.34).

    Figure 4.34 A recording device's shortcut menu lets you set up the device—usually a microphone or a line-in. Izotope t pain free download for mac. Click Properties for more options.

  3. When you're done, click OK in each open dialog box.

To configure system sound:

  1. Choose Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound > Sounds tab.

    or

    Right-click the Volume icon in the taskbar's notification area and choose Sounds (refer to Figure 4.32).

  2. To choose a predefined group of sound effects, choose a scheme from the Sound Scheme drop-down list (Figure 4.35).

    Figure 4.35 You can choose (or mute) each sound individually or use a sound scheme to apply a group of sounds.

  3. To change a sound for a particular event, click the event in the Program list; then choose the sound from the Sounds drop-down list.

    or

    Select the event and click Browse to select another sound file (in .wav audio format) on your system.

    or

    Choose (None) from the Sounds drop-down list to remove a sound.

  4. To preview a sound for a particular event, select the event in the Program list and click Test.
  5. To save a changed sound scheme, click Save As, type a name, and then click OK.
  6. To delete a custom sound scheme, select the scheme and click Delete.

    You can delete only the schemes that you created or installed, not the ones Windows provides.

  7. Click OK (or Apply).

So, in order to get the Pioneer DDJ-SB2 DJ Controller's Headphones-Out to work with Mixxx you have to set Sound API to 'MME' & HEADPHONES to the Device 'Line (DDJ-SB2) to Channels 3 -4' all while your MASTER is your typical PC speakers on Channels 1 - 2... Now go and Enjoy your mixing set! (please, refer to the Solution-Section of this post to see further detail)

I finally got my controller and plugged it's USB to my PC and Mixxx recognized it no hassle only after enabling it under `Preference -> Controllers (*choose appropriate one*)` ofcourse. Now, I was thankful it was that easy I mean no drivers needed to be installed because i'm using Windows 10. Now the problem came when trying to configure the *Audio-Outputs*. I can't set Headphones-Out to the controller itself, i'll end up recieving an error, like so..
Code: Select all
{Dialog Window}
Configuration error:
Error opening a device
An unkown error occured
{OK}

As far as my controller being an Audio-Output, the device name is `Line (2-DDJ-SB2)`. I'm NOT on `ASIO` Sound API, instead i'm on the default `Windows DirectSound` trying to choose this `Line (2-DDJ_SB2)` when recieving the error.
# MY SETUP
* Hardware
+ DJ Controller
- Entry level `Pioneer DDJ-SB2`
+ Speakers
- Basic `Boston Desktop 2.1 speakers` connected to PC via auxiliary-port
* Software
+ OS
- `Windows 10 x64 (home)`

Control Panel Printers

+ Mixing
- `Mixxx v2.0.0`
- Sound API `Windows DirectSound`
# PROBLEM
* In Mixxx, i'm receiving an error when trying to set my Headphones-Output to my controller's device name.
+ My controller's device name is `Line (2-DDJ-SB2)` and i'm setting it under the Sound API `Windows DirectSound`
# SOLUTION
* Are your speakers just regular / typical PC Speakers? Is your DJ Controller plugged to your PC? If you answered yes to both then follow these steps (otherwise it should be the same if you're using an external soundcard and NOT your PC's auxiliary port for your speakers)
+ Set Sound API = MME
+ Set MASTER = (usual speakers, you should see the driver name like Realtek or something like it) -> Channels 1 - 2
+ Set HEADPHONES = Line (DDJ-SB2) -> Channels 3 - 4
ENJOY!!

## NOTE
* Do you have your DJ Controller's `Master-Out` hooked to your speakers?
+ Nope, I have just the USB cord connected to my PC for power
- my audio is coming from my desktop speakers that is connected to my PC's backplate using an auxiliary jack.
* How come you're not using `ASIO` Audio-Output?
+ Because I want to output 'Master' to my desktop speakers AND 'Headphones' to my controller, there isn't a way to output the *Master to Speaker* when setting *Sound API to ASIO*
- so now it's just left at the default `Windows DirectSound` w/ master being my desktop speaker's `Realtek` driver that's plugged to my PC via auxiliary
+ Also, based from my experience using the ASIO-Output is that you can't have any other sound be playing, because it's exclusive to the player using it first

Control Panel Windows 10

- in order to fix that you have to terminate the player so you can break free from the ASIO-playback which to me is annoying
- annoying vs. audio quality/speed?
* Have you tried changing to various other `Sound API's`?
+ Yes, from ASIO being the most different to all the way through `WASAPI` I still receive the error
