Has anyone used a USB external sound card as a second card for a laptop? If so, any reccommends for which brand?
--------------------------
In the meantime, I will go with a single card and split L/R. Do you just use Y adapters to split or is there something better?
I know I need to purchase to get a separate monitor to work. At the moment I am doing a little more testing and will probably purchase in the next few days. Right now this is all for home use, I have not DJ'd for over 15 years...
Thanks

I think everyone in here uses an external sound card. My first choice is the MAYA 44. Second choice is the CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER. They both use RCA jacks.

I use creative extigy with 4 speakears mode and an external mixer and I send each deck to a single channel in the mixer, so u can have prelistening as a using turntables o cd players.
It's the better way using an external usb card. u'll need minijack to RCA cables.

In the past I have used a USB sound device (made by telex) for a 2nd stereo output. It worked well. I have also used the xp-10 as my 2nd sound device in the past.
However, I have gone back to using a stereo splitter from the headphone jack of my laptop and find this to be my personal favorite way to go.
I still use the xp-10 as a controller, but I no longer use the sound output from it.
I use this 3-5 times every week. It sounds great!

you could also get the Hercules console...
both a good dual soundcard (one stereo out for each deck) - AND a controller for the software
