Decks and mixer to pc help please.

[Unregistered]

Ok then, my setup consists of my decks and mixer going to my line IN via the phono leads, which lead in to a phono to 3.5mm stereo adapter. Then out of my usb port is a digital audio converter which goes in to my stereo. When I play mp3's out of the pc the sound comes out of my stereo speakers but when I fire up the decks the sound comes out of my monitor speakers. WHY? Any help appreciated, cheers.

It sounds like you may have run into a limitation of your USB digital audio converter. It probably can't take sound from the IN port on your sound card. Either that, or your sound card automatically takes anything going into the IN port and directs it to the OUT.
The easy solution, though not particularly hi-fi, is to get another mini to ____ (whatever your stereo takes) converter, and hook up your OUT port on your computer to your stereo directly, leaving the USB DAC out of the equation entirely.

Good thinking that man. Much appreciated.
