DDJ-RB - using headphones without using the Pioneer Audio Driver

Hi

Hopefully someone can advise if there is a work around for this.

I have a home production studio with interface (sound card) and separate monitors running out of this. I use the ASIO driver for this interface with rekordbox.

When using Rekordbox with this, I cannot get sound from the DDJ-RB's headphone jack (I assume this is because the pioneer audio driver tells this how to work?)

When I use the pioneer driver shipped with the unit, I can use the headphones perfectly well. However, As I don't have speakers connected from the DDJ-RB I have to monitor my whole mix from the headphones which is far from ideal for monitoring frequency levels etc.

Seems like i can have it one way or the other as I cannot select the DDJ RB driver for headphones when I choose the interface driver for the master out.

Have I missed something here or do i need route the audio from the DDJ-RB to a sound source in able to get both?

Thanks in advance

How to control Headphone mix on DDJ-RB:

1. When the CUE button is turned to max:
Turn on the HEADPHONES CUE 1 or 2 button on DDJ-RB where you want to use.
Turn off the HEADPHONES CUE MASTER button on DDJ-RB.

2. When the CUE MASTER is set at the center position:
Turn on the HEADPHONES CUE 1 or 2 button on DDJ-RB where you want to use.
Turn on the HEADPHONES CUE MASTER button on DDJ-RB.

3. When the MASTER is turned to the max:
Turn off the HEADPHONES CUE 1 or 2 button on DDJ-RB where you want to use.
Turn on the HEADPHONES CUE MASTER button on DDJ-RB.

I don't think you've understood my question. I know how to use the mixer and have been a dj for over 15 years, using pioneer equipment for a long time. I appreciate your effort but is anyone here capable of answering my question about the audio drivers?

To clarify, and sorry if I wasn't clear before:

Pioneer audio driver, = full headphone functionality but no speakers
My audio interface driver = no headphone functionality but sound from my monitors (coming from my seperate audio interface connected to my pc)

I'm trying to get the speakers and headphones to work simultaneously whilst using my audio interface.

I'll think you'll have to use some piece of software to make a virtual audio interface presenting you with both the output of your sound interface and with the headphones output of the DDJ. On Mac, it's called an "aggregate device" to create in the Sound Preferences. Sorry, don't know enough about Windows to know how to do this, but it must be possible. (Jack audio connection kit might be an option, but I'm not sure, and there might be simpler things...)
