Hi DJCD1900,

Thanks for get in touch with us. I will try to explain this easy as possible so you can understand.

I think It sounds like you may have the incorrect Windows audio setting selected.

Try following the below steps.

1. Close Serato DJ.
2. Plug in your DDJ‑SX directly to your computers USB port and power it on.
3. Click the Windows START button and search "SOUND".
4. Open the SOUND preference window.
5. Navigate to the PLAYBACK tab.
6. Make sure your LAPTOP/SPEAKERS are set as the DEFAULT playback device.
7. Launch Serato DJ.

Do you now have sound output to your speakers?

Let me know how you get on :)

thank you rui k
i can understand everything :)

Unfortunately this does not work :/
any section works alone. but if you try to play the music which you can load with the controller fr example in deck 1 it has only a signal with the leds in the channel but not in the master.

you only have sound on each channel but nothing on the master or the headphones! BUT when i use the line it works. i can play external signal from one deck and the master leds are working and there is a soundout :s i'm really cofused :/

Hey Rui K

i have delete serato and the frimware installed it again but it FIRST did not work, BUT after trying it again and again it works suddenly without any setting or new configuration i don't know how that could be possible but this has really happened. i think it was the software or frimware which made the problemes.

thank you very much
c u :)
