when connecting my computer to my mixer I cannot get the left and right channels to split on my mixer. It is not the mixer as my back up computer works fine. I have followed the manual but still no luck. Can anybody help.
Many thanks
Peter

Left and right channels or left and right decks (i.e. external mixer setup)?
Please describe (or post a picture of) your VDJ audio config.

....and what are the audio config settings on that? Why not just copy the settings from the working one to the non working one?

I still find it amazing people can post a problem without specific information that we need to help. Unbelievable!

Well aren't you the expect!
With respect, that's why people come on here to ask questions and then for others to ask more detailed and specific questions to try to help resolve a problem. Me and others don't come on here to be insulted!

Please describe (or post a picture of) your VDJ audio config. ok Input is on None. Outputs is on External Mixer & Right Chan / Left Chan. Sound Card is Mono separated with Primary Sound Driver. Hope this helps and thank you for your assistance.
What manual? The VDJ Manual that was sent to me by Atomix productions
....and what are the audio config settings on that? Why not just copy the settings from the working one to the non working one? I would if they were the same but sadly they are not. Did contact Atomix but did not get anywhere.
I have a feeling it may be internal problem with the computer? Pete King wrote :

.....which is what I'd expect. One computer is working as you want and one isn't.
The computer that does work correctly must have the correct settings, do you not think?
So........simply set up the computer that doesn't work, so that it has the same settings as the one that does.
Are you not using an external audio interface? It would be so much better than using your internal sound card, splitting the signal (I assume you've got the right type of splitter cable) and running in mono.

With respect you can't expect to get an answer to a question without at least giving some basic information. We're not mind readers and "my computer" and "my mixer" cannot give us an indication of what your problem might be.

The above images may help.
An internal laptop soundcard is used by vast numbers of people and is adequate..although not what I'd recommend.
I have a tablet which may become a backup using its card.
I forgot that your using vdj7 so try the advanced config and the settings in image below

People without a basic knowledge of their hardware, software and how it goes together shouldn't be using that type of setup.
What happens if something goes wrong in the middle of a gig and they don't know how to recover it?
I have one particular colleague who only knows how to switch his laptop on and use VDJ in a basic manner and I have lost count of the times my mobile has gone off and I have had to go to his gig and get it going again because a setting has changed or a cable has become loose.

I had trouble with the file size..hope this works.
I was using my new tablet but could not optimize the file size quickly so I retreated to my trusty Linux machine. Job done.

Your doing just fine Ron although I wonder why he's still using 7??
Oh and my post was leveled so it's really not interfering with anything

Ha ha. You criticize others for hijacking the thread then you post shet like that which has absolutely nothing to do with the user's problems.
You made me laugh out loud!

I expect you to correct your bad language or the moderator to do it for you. As you well know it's against the forum rules.

If you are gung-ho to help but put-out by a less than informed requester wasting your time with needless chatter, create a template of questions you need answered, copy and paste that into thread. Or you can be grumpy and rude every other post.

Thank you TD and could not agree more. It's all about learning from & teaching others thus helping others to improve their knowledge & expertise which in turn helps others on so on.

Well said Big Ron!
I spoke with VDJ online chat. As they suggested. update to VDJ8 which I have now done on both computers. My old computer is still working fine from via cable from headphone to the two jacks into mix. Music splits into decks 1 and 2 fine.
The other computers config is now the same as the image you sent me, once again thank you, and on the old computer. However on the old one it shows
HI Def Audio (WASPI)
The new computer shows 1DT Hi Def CODEC (WASPI), To be honest does not mean much to me as a basic user. I still think it has something to do with sound cards Internal or external.
Thank you BIg Ron
