Topic: external sound cards
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.
