VirtualDJ has the ability to create endless Audio Configurations depending on the hardware used. From a simple speaker connection to a multi-channel sound card running multiple inputs and outputs; VirtualDJ can route sound to and from just about any hardware device on the market today.

The Audio Settings menu is a hybrid compiled of basic icons to click on as well as Advanced configurations. The Icons can be clicked on and VirtualDJ will configure the audio with the most common settings automatically in the advanced menu. From there, audio configurations can be altered added and removed depending on the audio interface’s capabilities and the requirements of the user.
