Traktor Prelistening using Realtek HD Audio

[skeletorfw]

Using ASIO4ALL I managed to trick my Realtek soundcard into allowing a 2-channel mix on one soundcard instance, but with each stream exiting a different port

(as opposed to using the "playback multistreaming" function which displays as two seperate soundcards)

My Working Setup:

Hardware:
- Gigabyte motherboard with onboard Realtek soundcard
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.53GHz 45nm
- 4GB DDR2 Ram 400MHz
- Logik Headphones & Behringer Monitors

Software:
- Windows XP SP3 with Aston2 Shell replacement
- ASIO4ALL V2.9
- Realtek HD Audio Driver
- Traktor Pro 1.2

Realtek HD Audio Manager Configuration:
- On the Audio I/O panel, Setup set to 4CH Speaker
- Black Jack dedicated to the front speakers
- Green Jack dedicated to rear speakers
- Monitors plugged into Black Jack
- Headphones plugged into Green Jack

ASIO4ALL Configuration:
- Selected advanced view
- "Only Realtek High Definition Audio" enabled
- ASIO Buffer Size = 1024 Samples
- Latency Compensation = 32 samples In & Out
- Checked "Always Resample 44.1kHz<->48kHz"

Traktor Configuration:
- 2D Int. Mixer Preset (should come as standard)
- Audio Device: ASIO4ALL v2
- Sample Rate: 44.1Hz
- Audio Latency: 23ms
- Output Monitor:
L=7: HD Audio output 7
R=8: HD Audio output 8
- Output Master:
L=1: HD Audio output 1
R=2: HD Audio output 2

OMG skeletorfw!!

I've been trying to do this for so long.

Can you please tell me how you:

".....managed to trick my Realtek soundcard into allowing a 2-channel mix on one soundcard instance, but with each stream exiting a different port"

This will be greatly appreciated and might just be the breakthrough I need.

Thank you
