Traktor Pro 2 No Sound In Headphones

Hello,
I’d been using Traktor Pro 2 with a Denon MC6000MK1 and MacBook Pro without issue for 2 years. I installed an iTunes update (the one before last) and all of a sudden no sound. Checked everything. Even tried using a mac desktop with pro 2 on it. Nothing. Assumed it was a hardware issue and I took the MK1 for repair. When I got it home, I got sound but could only control it from the master volume. Slides and cross fader didn’t work. Then I thought it was a hardware issue. MK1 was discontinued so I took the plunge and ipgraded to MK2 when I saw Traktor mapping was available. Installed new Mapping, plug in MK2, same deal. Volume controlled only with master, no slides or cross fader. Installed Serato, which came with MK2 and it worked flawlessly. I don’t mind exploring Serato as its good to be as well rounded as possible. However, I prefer Traktor and was really getting into it. (I enrolled ddt’s Traktor course–fantastic!) One more thing, I set up preferences as suggested: (Yes) External controller (no) External Mixer and the rest. No sound at all in that config. When I said yes to external mixer I got the uncontrolled volume I described earlier. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
GeofIn external mixer mode Traktor will send the sound to (if set up correctly) your controller as track 1 and track 2. Your controllers mixers will then have to do everything else, including master volume.
In internal mixer mode Traktor will send the master output from the software to the master output of your controller and the cue signal to the headphone output.
You will have to set what deck sound goes to what bit of sound card channels in external mixer mode.
Been years since I used Traktor, so bit rusty on the settings.
1) Pick the right audio device (driver) on the Audio Setup tab under “Audio Device” (duh!). This should probably be the Denon DJ ASIO Driver if I recall correctly (at least it was with my MC6000 I think).
2) On the Output Routing tab, select “External” for Mixing Mode (as you have).
3) Now set Output Deck A to (for example) channel 1 L and channel 1 R or Front L and Front R. You should have 4 options (or even more if you use a higher channel count sound card, but generally it will be 4 for a controller like the MC6000)
4) Set Output Deck B to something different! It could be marked as channel 2 L + R or Back L + R.If you have only 1 set (of stereo, thus L + R) of options, like you describe with front left/front right, something is wrong. Either the wrong device selected or the wrong device driver (not) installed. Probably the right driver can be found at the Denon site. You can also try the ASIO4All drivers from their site.
But you should have the option to choose from 4 (2 x a L+R combo), otherwise it won’t work properly.
If you’re sure you’ve got the correct audio device set and you’re only seeing 2 stereo outputs (I’m guessing front left/right and back left/right) then you would need to select internal mixer mode and the outputs as Output master and output monitor(for the headphones). Also check the mapping is correct and working because it sounds to me like this could be your problem – check that the correct mapping is active in the controller manager and that the in port and out port are showing as the correct device. If it still doesn’t work the mapping might be at fault – I would suggest you download the mapping again if this is the case.
I hope you find this helpful.

Traktor Pro 2 No Sound In Headphones Free
I have traktor pro 2 installed and my hercules e2 controller works fine with it, all controls are fine but no sounds played through traktor play.
Under Audio setup i have the following settings:
Audio device: ASIO4ALL v2
Sample rate: 24000Hz
Latency: 512Then under the ‘Built in soundcard’ bit i have ASIO4ALL selected again. The only other choice being something called” Conexant 20561 smartaudio ( (Wassapi) (Shared mode))”
I have no idea what to do with input & output routing, but have had no luck with just guessing. could really use some help people. if you need any more info, let me know. thanks
On Audio Setup, select “ASIO4ALL” for audio device. Then, on Output Routing, select “Internal” for mixing mode, on Out Master select 1: Front Left, then 2: Front Right. Output Monitor should be 3: Back Left, then 4: Back Right.

So I’ve checked your controller the Hercules E2, and learned that it doesn’t have a built-in soundcard. And, the computer that you are connecting to is using a Digital-Out interface, which means your ordinary 3.5mm will not work with it. You will need a S/PDIF is a digital audio interconnect to RCA cable to be able to connect it to an external mixer or speakers.
Try using Conexant 20561 smartaudio ( (Wassapi) (Shared mode)) as your audio setup and use “internal” in your output routing select “anything” that is available on your drop down list and see if any sound is produced in your computer.
If it still doesn’t work, then your computer’s soundcard doesn’t support external audio routing, you may need to buy a DJ soundcard like one of these: http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2010/11/6-budget-dj-sound-cards/

3D 5.1 soundcards will work as long as you have two separate outputs. But, if you want to connect it to high-powered mixers and speakers, then I recommend buying a DJ soundcard from numark or native instruments. That way there would be no distortion if you pump up the volume.
