I finally got my controller and plugged it's USB to my PC and Mixxx recognized it no hassle only after enabling it under `Preference -> Controllers (*choose appropriate one*)` ofcourse. Now, I was thankful it was that easy I mean no drivers needed to be installed because i'm using Windows 10. Now the problem came when trying to configure the *Audio-Outputs*. I can't set Headphones-Out to the controller itself, i'll end up recieving an error, like so..
As far as my controller being an Audio-Output, the device name is `Line (2-DDJ-SB2)`. I'm NOT on `ASIO` Sound API, instead i'm on the default `Windows DirectSound` trying to choose this `Line (2-DDJ_SB2)` when recieving the error.
# MY SETUP
* Hardware
+ DJ Controller
- Entry level `Pioneer DDJ-SB2`
+ Speakers
- Basic `Boston Desktop 2.1 speakers` connected to PC via auxiliary-port
* Software
+ OS
- `Windows 10 x64 (home)`
+ Mixing
- `Mixxx v2.0.0`
- Sound API `Windows DirectSound`
# PROBLEM
* In Mixxx, i'm receiving an error when trying to set my Headphones-Output to my controller's device name.
+ My controller's device name is `Line (2-DDJ-SB2)` and i'm setting it under the Sound API `Windows DirectSound`
# SOLUTION
* Are your speakers just regular / typical PC Speakers? Is your DJ Controller plugged to your PC? If you answered yes to both then follow these steps (otherwise it should be the same if you're using an external soundcard and NOT your PC's auxiliary port for your speakers)
+ Set Sound API = MME
+ Set MASTER = (usual speakers, you should see the driver name like Realtek or something like it) -> Channels 1 - 2
+ Set HEADPHONES = Line (DDJ-SB2) -> Channels 3 - 4
___
## NOTE
* Do you have your DJ Controller's `Master-Out` hooked to your speakers?
+ Nope, I have just the USB cord connected to my PC for power
- my audio is coming from my desktop speakers that is connected to my PC's backplate using an auxiliary jack.
* How come you're not using `ASIO` Audio-Output?
+ Because I want to output 'Master' to my desktop speakers AND 'Headphones' to my controller, there isn't a way to output the *Master to Speaker* when setting *Sound API to ASIO*
- so now it's just left at the default `Windows DirectSound` w/ master being my desktop speaker's `Realtek` driver that's plugged to my PC via auxiliary
+ Also, based from my experience using the ASIO-Output is that you can't have any other sound be playing, because it's exclusive to the player using it first
- in order to fix that you have to terminate the player so you can break free from the ASIO-playback which to me is annoying
- annoying vs. audio quality/speed?
* Have you tried changing to various other `Sound API's`?
+ Yes, from ASIO being the most different to all the way through `WASAPI` I still receive the error

Workaround for a bug in the Windows 8/8.1 Bluetooth audio driver (causing BSOD when device is opened twice). This bug seems to have been fixed in Windows 10. Improvement: UI response time and driver (re-) start time should be a lot snappier now. Fix: Some Application Verifier errors should be gone. ASIO Driver Problem With Scarlett 2i2 I recently purchased the Scarlette 2i2 and downloaded the '2i2 USB 2.0 Driver' from the Focusrite website and the ASIO driver from ASIO4all.com. Starcraft crossover mac. I'm using a PC and selected the 2i2 as the my default device for audio input and output. https://high-powersn315.weebly.com/blog/virtual-dj-home-free-pioneer-skin-download.

So, in order to get the Pioneer DDJ-SB2 DJ Controller's Headphones-Out to work with Mixxx you have to set Sound API to 'MME' & HEADPHONES to the Device 'Line (DDJ-SB2) to Channels 3 -4' all while your MASTER is your typical PC speakers on Channels 1 - 2... Now go and Enjoy your mixing set! (please, refer to the Solution-Section of this post to see further detail)
