    You have to set this up through the routing of the software. Go in the options there and set the sound output to your laptop.
    Why on earth you shelf out 400 bucks (or more) for a DDJ Ergo and then seemingly have no money for decent speakers is beyond me however…. I mean some decent M-Audio AV 40 speakers are like 100 bucks or less.
    Money you could have easily saved buying a decent beginner controller instead of a lightshow.

    Thank you for your response.

    I tried it too and it works, but the problem is that in that case I can’t use the headphones to pre-hear the sound.

    I’m asking to make this system portable. I have the speakers at my house. But if I wanna chill with it in the street I dont want to carry the DDJ, the laptop and the speakers, just the first two.

    Any ideas?

    No. You can decide to use the DDJ Ergo Soundcard or your laptop’s soundcard from your software. You cannot use both at the same time for the same audio. Since the headphones out works through the DDJ Ergo Soundcard it wont work if you have the internal speakers selected.
    If you want to chill in the street, why attack people with crappy sounding speakers of your laptop? Just use the headphone out of the DDJ Ergo all the time with decent headphones. It is not like your laptop speakers would be suitable to do a real mix…

    Thank you.

    I supposed that I can’t do it directly because of the sound card. That’s why I thought that it could be possible doing a double connection.

    My first idea was trying to connect another cable from the master output of the DDJ to the mic input of the laptop, but I don’t know why it doesn’t work.
