    I have an HP pavilion dv4-1275mx and I am trying to get a virtual dj setup going so I can mix music at parties and such.
    I run both ableton and virtual dj programs and would like to know how to get sounds coming from both my laptop speakers and headphones at the same time so I can listen to one track on my headphones and the other track through the speakers.

    Do I need a separate sound card for this? I've seen DJ's that just seem to be able to just plug their laptop in and get the set going.

    I'd like to have sounds coming from both those outputs but they would have to be different channels since I would be listening to two different tracks on them.

    PLEASE help a newb out and teach me how to do this, I am quite new at all this.

    more info available upon request.

    EDIT: i will not be playing at huge clubs or anything like that anytime soon, all I would like is to get sound from my laptop SPEAKERS and headphones at the same time. Not looking for external sound cards to hook up to huge amps at this moment, just a much smaller alternative :)
