Cheap soundcard

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Any recommendations please for a cheap (under £20 preferably) soundcard to use with VDJ.

Two outputs is all that is required to link to a simple mixer and preferably USB.

It's not for me before people start telling me I need to buy something more expensive - it's for my trainee nephew to play around with.

Ta. :beer1:

If it were me, I'd go for a couple of PCI Soundblaster cards - you could possibly pick up a couple on ebay for £20, let alone one.

Sorry, should have said - it is to use with a laptop rather than PC.

This should do just the job for you Darren

Ignore the above - that's the wrong product mate

I can't find any with the specs you want for the price you want - there are cheap ones out that just connect up to the PC for monitoring purposes with headphones etc, but the cheapest one I could see for what you need (I presume linking through a mixer) is this (http://www.djsupplies.co.uk/numark-djio-usb-sound-card-dj-io-449-p.asp)

Oh a pound cheaper here (http://www.djstore.com/item/numdjio.htm?affid=froogle)

Lowest price one I can advise is Numark DJ IO. Nowhere near your price sadly, I got mine s/h for £50. Excellent piece of kit though, highly recommended.

And I got one of those which didn't work properly, and my seller didn't reply to emails.

lol i dont no then im using mine all the time and use 2 out puts for left and right deck and works fine i have 2 one for backup

One of these any good? Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo No usb cable or driver disk (if you need it) But it's doing nothing at my house, be better put to use by your nephew. It lights up anyway, I just plugged it in. Worth a shot, pm me the address you want it to go to and I'll chuck it in the post tomorrow if you want it.

Thanks Mark - you're a star.

PM coming your way and a beer or 2 at BPM.

For the people who couldnt get the soundblaster kits working with different outputs - you cant use the standard drivers. You need special drivers which i have somewhere for when i used a pci soundblaster card.
I did work great but then i went over to laptop so didnt need it anymore.

[DazzyD]

I think you do need the SB drivers for the 5.1 external soundcard (which I use two of myself). It adds some extra programs for configuring the sound to just the way you want it.

If you can't get it to work, Daz, I could run you off a copy of the drivers/installation disk if that's any help to you. Just let me know.

A big thanks to Mark - I got the card this morning. I am still trying to get it out of the packaging...git!

Thanks a lot though - I'll get you half a shandy at BPM. :sj:

For anyone still interested I found this (http://www.inta-audio.com/dj-equipment-c125/computer-dj-vj-c126/numark-numark-stereo-io-usb-audio-interface-p2680?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=2679&utm_campaign=froogle#) from Numark. It only has 1 output but a decent product for £24.99.

How would that be any different from using the headphone jack though? :confused:

:lol:

I thought there was some magic way you could configure it. I have an Echo card that has virtual outputs, so thought this may have something similar.
