just run a pair of RCA's from one of your mixer's outputs into the sound card's inputs. what kind of inputs do you have on the audigy? (this is a gaming card btw so it may or may not be equipped with what you need for dj'ing)

1/8th jack coming from the RCA outs on the mixer should go into line-in in our soundcard

Well i put the 1/8th jack into my soundcard's input and it works and all. But what can i do to connect my second channel to my 2nd onboard soundcard? I did the same thing with another cable but it did not come out right, it played both songs together at the same time in the headphones(2 songs at the same time on hte left on and same on the right).

Anyone???

you need to use the master outputs on your mixer to run to the input on your soundcard. individual channel outputs run to CDJ's or TT's...

Here's how you gotta set it up. I have a VMC-004 too.

if u have the breakout box for the audigy2 you can just use rca to rca leads as u have rca inputs on the front of it.

great work on the diagrams glassball
