INTRODUCTION
VirtualDJ‟s sound configuration options can be found in the Configuration (Settings) dialog under the
tab labeled “Sound Setup”. Depending on platform version you are running there are different options
you may have to choose from.
By default, when VirtualDJ is first installed, the SIMPLEconfiguration setup is used. Simple
configuration uses the system identified “Primary Sound Driver” as the Master Output. Typically, this
is the built-in sound card of the computer system as seen in the f igures below.
For HOME and BROADCASTER versions the options are kept simple for quick configuration.


Simple Output – no Headphones
(default installation option)

Basic computer setups are configured for using one Master output and a Microphone input. So the
