I have my headphone plugged in, in the front panel and the speakers on the back panel. I have also made the configuration in virtual dj to: Inputs: None Outputs: Headphones (tried all 3 options) Sound card: 4.1 card (using the primary sound driver, but i've tried them all) Basically I feel like I've tried every option available in Virtual DJ.
VirtualDJ Home FREE and VirtualDJ Broadcaster are limited software and only support the following configurations for pre-listening to music using headphones:
Connect the Y-Splitter cable to the computer’s sound output (headphone jack). Connect the speakers to one of the ends of the Y-Splitter and connect Headphones to the other. Select SPEAKER+HEADPHONE in the OUTPUT options and STEREO TO MONO SPLITTER from the HARDWARE options. VirtualDJ will then route the Master Output to the 1st mono channel and Headphones to the 2nd mono channel of the computer’s built-in sound card. J Me Blaze PRO Infinity Member since 2012 Im using virtual dj pro 7 and a Gemini G4V everything is updated, sound card settings on my Gemini CNTRL-7 was 2 sound cards one control main the other control headphones and everything worked. G4V only has the option built in output which is the laptop speakers and gemini G4V no headphones!
If you are using a desktop computer with a 4.1, 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound card built-in, you can use the front and rear outputs of this for master and headphones. Plug stereo amplified speakers into the front output socket and a pair of headphones into the rear output socket. NOTE: Most laptops only have a single headphone output. The other socket if it has one is normally a mic/line input. In some cases two headphone sockets are provided, but these both output the same audio signal, so are unsuitable for headphone pre-listening in VirtualDJ. Two separate outputs are very rare on a laptop.
If you are using a laptop (Or desktop with stereo sound card), you can add a basic stereo USB sound card for the headphone output. Your computer's built-in sound card will be used for the master output and the USB card for your headphones (Plug your headphones into the USB card.) NOTE: On Mac, both this and the internal card must be set to the same rate (44100Hz, 16-bit recommended), otherwise you may get distortion and other sound issues. Use MacOS's Audio/MIDI utility to view and change this. Please see: Common Mac Performance Issues
You can use the sound card built into your laptop and the mono separated Y-cable option, however this will only give you MONO sound and is not ideal or recommended for live performance. You will need a splitter cable to split the left/right channels - Please search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono - Plug your headphones into one of side of the splitter (You will need an appropriate adaptor for this) and plug the other into your amp, speakers or mixer.
To choose which deck to pre-listen to, press the TAB key or click the PFL button on the skin. Use the crossfader and/or volume sliders to control which deck is output live over the master output. Use the Headphone MIX knob on the default skin to adjust how much of pre-listened deck vs the live playing one is heard in your headphones. For more advanced sound configuration such as using two sound cards or multi-channel external DJ sound cards, you will need to purchase either VirtualDJ Pro Basic or VirtualDJ Pro Full. Advanced sound configuration and other Pro features such as MIDI controllers can be tried out for 10 minutes at a time, after which the software will revert back to free limited. NOTE: VirtualDJ Home FREE is for non-commercial use only using your mouse and keyboard to mix. It cannot be used at DJ gigs where you are being paid.
For live performance, VirtualDJ Basic or the full VirtualDJ Professional with a dedicated multi-channel sound card designed for DJ use is strongly recommended, such as Numark DJIO.

Virtual DJ LE Audio Settings
Mac Audio/Midi Settings:
Check your audio/midi settings in system preferences and make sure your computer's sound card (or preferred audio interface) is selected.
Click on the finder or the apple Icon and highlight the system preferences tab.
Double click on the system Preferences tab and then double click on the Sound icon.
Make sure only your MAC's internal sound card is selected, or your preferred external audio interface is selected here.
WINDOWS PC AUDIO SETTINGS:
Open up the control panel on your PC. Use the Control Panel shortcut From the Start Menu. Open the control panel on your PC and click on the SOUND icon.
Make sure your Windows PC's default sound card is selected for internal speakers or your preferred external audio interface is selected here.
Virtual DJ LE AUDIO Settings:
Before you double-check the soundcard assignments, make sure to do the following:
Push up all faders to about halfway, just enough to make sure there will be audio passing through.
Set the crossfader in the center. If it's pushed off to the side, you will only hear one channel.
Set the Master Gain, Cue Mix, and Cue Gain knobs in the center, or 12 o'clock.
Be sure to drag/load a song onto a deck in Virtual DJ and press the play button on that deck.
If you are unable to get sound from Virtual DJ LE, stop the track and check the following settings:
Internal Soundcard:
If you're using only your internal soundcard for playback (most users), check the following settings:
Open up the Virtual DJ Preferences by clicking on the Settings tab in the top right-hand corner of Virtual DJ.
Choose the Audio Tab on the left and make sure the computers internal sound card is selected in the card area of the audio settings window.
Output: Speaker + Headphone
Card: Internal Soundcard
Master: Set to your soundcard - Chan 1&2
Headphones: Set to your soundcard - Chan 3&4
Two Soundcards:
While some laptops have internal surround sound cards and/or speakers, most only have a single headphone output. The simplest option is to add a basic stereo USB soundcard or audio interface for your headphones, such as the Numark DJ I/O.
If you are using an external USB soundcard, assign the Audio Settings as follows:
Output: Speaker + Headphone
Card: Two Soundcards
Outputs: Headphones (Master : First card / Headphones : Second card)
In the Outputs section, choose the following:
In the first drop-down list, choose your laptop's built-in sound card.
In the second drop-down, choose your external USB sound card.
Click Apply to complete.
Mono with a Y splitter cable:
You can use a single sound card and the mono separated option in VirtualDJ's sound setup, however, this will only give you MONO sound. You will need a Y-splitter cable to split the left/right channels. Plug the splitter cable into your sound card's headphone socket. Then plug your amplified speakers into the left output socket and your headphones into the right.
In the Audio Settings tab, choose the following:
Output: Speaker + Headphone
Card: Stereo to Mono Splitter
Master: Set to your soundcard - Chan 1 (mono)
Headphones: Set to your soundcard - Chan 2 (mono)
Click Apply to complete. ?
