Connecting a mixer to a laptop is not an easy task. It's one thing to connect a wire to two connectors, and another thing to choose a suitable sound card, which you will certainly encounter if you continue to play music.
It is necessary
a set of wires for connecting the mixer to a laptop, on one side of which there must be a “jack” plug
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure you have the correct drivers for your sound card installed on your laptop. If necessary, update them so that they work correctly, as otherwise there may be problems with the mixer connection. Locate the audio-out connectors on your laptop, usually marked with a headphone icon.
Step 2
Take a jack wire and connect one end to the audio output of your laptop sound card and the other to the mixer. It is best to use a cable version where the connection is made using two wires connected to one "jack" at the other end.
Step 3
If you have a wire that has a jack plug on one side and a tulip plug on the other, connect the first to the connector on the video card, and the second to the corresponding audio input ports on the mixer. Be careful to follow the color scheme for connecting the wires. You can also use special adapters that can be purchased at radio stores in your city.
Step 4
Purchase a dedicated external sound card for your laptop if you want to get the best sound from your mixing console. Check out their assortment on specialized sites and see reviews from users who have already purchased this or that model.
