Configuring jacks

Hello,
I have DELL XPS M1530 and I'm working in kids summer camp as a DJ
What I want to do is to configure one jack for output for speakers and another for headphones, so programm called virtual DJ could control them. Like listening another song from headphones while playing another on speakers.
Now it just plays the same on both, and headphones controller on virtual DJ does nothing.
Is it possible to do so on xps m1530?

 

I dont think it is possible without a second sound card.

 

You're looking for an audio-interface (USB/FireWire/etc) or an external soundcard.

You're going to be able to configure in Virtual DJ which channel goes out which Output. The onboard soundcard is basically just one Output with two jacks (meaning you can't channel two different signals out of each).

Both M-Audio and Creative Labs should have what you're looking for.

 

Okay, thanks for info.

 

I use my m1330 and virtual DJ for all of my gigs

what I do is plug one output into the very left (main) headphone plug and my other output on the far right plug....a menu pops up asking me how it wants that plug to be handled (input, output, etc)

virtual dj then lets you tell it how to use your sound card....I have a stand alone mixer that lets me listen to each channel, but i believe if you plug in headphones, use the surround sound feature vDJ will let you select front speakers as left source, rear speakers as right source, and middle as your previewing headphones....try it out, it took me a few tries to get it just right

 

Thanks tstate09!!
the above poster has it sorted...it works on my DELL XPS M1530
here's how

Plug your PC speakers into the far right input, Sigmatel software should pop up: change to.....device connected:rear speakers (NOT MIC)

Change the other 2 to Headphones.

Go to Control Panel, Sound, Right click Speakers/Headphones
Change to Quadraphonic, test your speakers are working as rear speakers etc...

Now open Virtual DJ, i use the MixLab 3.1 skin.
Go to sound setup then.
INPUTS: NONE
HEADPHONES
4.1 CARD
SOUNDCARD: SPEAKERS/HEADPHONES SIGMATEL HIDEF
OUTPUT CHANNELS: MASTER:REAR OUTPUT/HEADPHONES:FRONT OUTPUT

it works perfectly fine for me, no need for separate sound card etc....

thanks

 

report back....

the above option doenst actually work as well as I wanted it to...
I found a new option though...delete the sigmatel driver...use the driver that windows uses(the automatic download)

Might get a directx audio error, I just reistalled Direct x again and it worked fine....play with the settings in Virtual DJ and it should work.

 

This works, but the volume level of the rear output is extremely low. I switched the headphones and the the master output in virtual dj, but still the volume level is extremely low. nothing wrong with my headphones since i checked it with other headphones. the left outputs work fine, but the right most output's volume level is extremely low. any ideas?

thanks
