Kontrol Z1 MK2: use headphones output as audio interface

garrapeta

Hi,

I'd like to use the Headphones output of the Kontrol Z1 MK2 in Windows 11 as an audio interface.

This is, select the headphones output of the unit to reproduce audio outside traktor or other sound applications, as the generic audio interface used by the OS.

Windows recognises the "speaker" output for me to select, but not the "headphones" one.

I have installed the drivers already.

I am able to achieve this with other NI hardware such as the Audio 8 DJ interface, but not the Kontrol Z1 MK2.

Also, in audio software such as Traktor, Ableton or others, I can access to the two stereo outputs of the device, but not at OS level.

Thanks

Technically, I think I could rephrase this as

"I want to access the headphones output as DirectSound, not only ASIO"
