Does anyone use an external sound that works with Windows 11? I am having issues with my Pioneer DJM-A9 sound card cutting out on me and am looking for a Widows 11 compatible out of the box sound card.

Having used many an external soundcard over the years, I settled on a Roland Quad Capture which I've been using for a while now. Excellent sound quality especially the headphone amp. They can be picked up quite cheap 2nd hand these days too. Works flawlessly with W11 too.

The things you want to look for on Windows cards:
- The maker has ASIO drivers on their website. You may get by using the Windows WASAPI drivers these days, but ASIO is usually a lower latency option every time.
- I'd recommend a card that has 4 output jack (two stereo pairs), as this guarantees that you can route your master output and headphone/cue separately.
Some interfaces I've used for DJ work:
- Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6
- RME Babyface
- Focusrite Scarlett 8i6
- Motu M4
- Roland Quad Capture
Understand that interfaces that work well on one laptop can have glitches on a different one though.

I am using Traktor Audio 6 on Win 11.
No problems with DVS , latency is not a problem.

I use a Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD. I have always used it and still currently use it in my main DJ system. (I'm a wedding DJ, so I have a few different setups)
I've had issues with ANOTHER Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD that was cutting out. (I was using this one in a small DJ system). It seemed when the fan in my laptop would speed up, the audio interface would cut out. So I'm not sure if it was a power related issue, or what. Same drivers as the current working interface. So definitely a mystery that I've never figured out.
To make it even more of a mystery, I have two other laptops with Windows 10 and I can use that same interface with no problems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I also use a FocusRite 4i4 in another DJ system, with Windows 11 and no issues.
