Yes. There are two ways to do it depending on what you want to achieve:

• Newegg

• Direct deck outputs: Direct deck outputs is a feature of Mixxx 1.9.0 onwards. Set the outputs in Options→Preferences→Sound Hardware and you're done. If you are on 1.8.x or below, the trick is to force Mixxx's master output to play back the left/top track, and the headphone output to playback the right/bottom track. (Each track will come out a separate output, suitable for plugging right into an external DJ mixer.) The way one does this is by sliding Mixxx's crossfader all the way to the left, and turning on the headphone cue for the right channel. This forces the first track to play out the master out, and the second track to play out the headphone out. (Since both outputs are now going straight into an external mixer, you'd use the headphone cue on the mixer as well as it's crossfader.) Using an external mixer is also described briefly in the Threadbox tutorial.
• Software mixing as an additional sound source: If you want to mix on-screen but need to integrate with an external mixer (such as when playing CDs and/or records as well, or in a radio studio) you can plug the headphone output into one channel of the mixer, and the main output into another. Then bring the channel fader of the headphone one all the way down on the mixer and set it to play in your headphones all the time (thereby adding Mixxx's headphone bus to the mixer's.) Then use the other fader (with Mixxx's main output) when you want to bring Mixxx's output into/out of the main mix.

I’m a part-time DJ who usually does private events, although I do enjoy rocking the occasional party. A while back my mixer broke (water got into the inputs, don’t ask how!), and a lack of funds drove me into looking for a quick-fix DJing solution that didn’t need a real mixer, and pretty quickly too.

Pulse is suspended anyway when starting Mixxx. Even if we have the pulse support in Mixxx, it is very unlikely that a app like 'pavucontrol' is installed which might allow to tweak the hardware sliders of a second soundcard.

Mixxx is free and it's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, however this guide focuses on a Mac setup - https://radio.co. Edit: Also new in the current betas is the ability to mix vinyl (or other external sources) via sound card or a controller that supports it. My RMX 2 has two aux inputs, and so I can mix in external sources with the new Mixxx. It apparently has better time-coded vinyl support, as well, but I haven't tried it, yet.

I found that with a bit of practice, I was able to play sets completely from my laptop. And while I don’t DJ like this any more, I wanted to share with you my experiences of DJing this way.

How it happened
As I say, I broke my equipment and needed a solution, fast! I had actually already been using Mixxx, the open source DJ software (as at the time I didn’t have the funds to buy Traktor or Serato in order to try out digital DJing), and so I decided to sit myself down and teach myself to DJ with Mixxx, and just off of my laptop. The first thing I learned was to use a USB mouse – much easier and more precise than the laptop’s touchpad.

I thought it would be a good idea to make heavy use of beatgrids, but I soon learned that I couldn’t rely on software for all music; lucky I can beatmatch manually from knowing how to DJ with “real” equipment, as I found that I needed to much of the time.

I already had a Numark DJ I/O sound card to use, so I could separate the headphones and main outputs fine. I was all set…

My first party as a laptop DJ

So I went to my first gig (a large party) with just my laptop, and I have to say that I was nervous as hell! People were giving me weird looks (“Where’s your turntables/mixer?”). When I told them I was just going to use my laptop, the skeptical looks intensified…

However, I donned my headphones, loaded up my playlist, and started laying down the tracks, and guess what? I did just fine.

I wasn’t able to meld in samples and loops, but I tried something similar by looping parts of tracks loaded in my second software deck and adjusting EQs and faders in the Mixxx dialog. I found this worked well to give my sets a bit of something extra.

What it taught me
This experience, and subsequent experiences DJing with just my laptop at parties, confirmed to me that real skill in DJing is reading a crowd and track selection, whether using “real” equipment or just a laptop. After all, anyone can DJ a set. The question is, can they get people in the mood to dance? This became very clear to me when I was using just a laptop to DJ with. In that respect there’s no difference.

The biggest surprise for me was realising that for digital DJing, and especially with just a laptop, it’s just as important to be able to beatmatch manually (either with headphones or using waveforms) as DJing the traditional way.

Many times, I was forced to do gigs just reading waveforms. I had to know my tracks and know how to beatmatch well to pull it off.

I don’t still DJ this way; since then, I’ve bought a Kontrol S4 and Traktor, and overall I’d definitely recommend using an actual controller, especially if people want to get into controllerism and that type of thing.

But for getting started or for basic mixing? A laptop is just fine.
