Need Help - Two soundcards - Creative Sound Blaster 16PCI 4.1

Hello everyone:

First of all i am a rookie so here it goes...I have a software called PCDJ which i am sure some of you have heard of...i didnt want to buy a soundcard with two wave outputs since my original soundcard is just a simple "cheapo"...Therefore I purchased the cheapest i found at a local computer store (Creative Sound Blaster 16PCI 4.1), I figured if i installed this new soundcard i would be able to mix on one soundcard and use the other one as a monitor to match Beats per minute (speed)...anyway...my problem is that after installing it i am able to use both soundcards but not at the same time, there's an option in the PCDJ configuration which allows me to choose a playing mode with two soundcards but it's blocked...I figured after installing the second card it would automatically be available...well i tried going to control panel and went to sounds and audio devices and i am able to switch from one soundcard to the other one and they work...but not the way i wanted...is there something i can dowload here to make one of the cards work as a 2 output card...or a way that i could make them both work the way i want to??? I have Windows XP...Thanks for the help, i really hope someone is able to give me an answer...
