Zero 8 and Traktor Scratch problem how to get them work?

Hi guys, I have Korg Zero 8. (it came at the beginning of January with 1.5 update) I read posts here about hissing problems and just wondering if I got the same problem.
Everything was fine, at least there wasn't any strange sound when I just played/scratched records or worked with Cubase with USB keyboard.
Yesterday I decided to try Traktor Scratch. I connected everything like it says in Traktor's instructions (which is pretty usless:) Connected turntables to Phono 1L, 1R and Phono 2L, 2R jacks.
Tested the Outputs with a Demo Track- everything was fine. Then tested inputs – it didn’t work first, switching from Phono to Line didn’t change anything at all. But somehow I finally got that pix/figures they where talking about. Then manual says:
“Load a track in Deck… Place the needle at the beginning of the record and start your turntable. The track in the deck will start to play and you will hear it over the speakers. Put your hand on the record and move the record back and forth. Notice your manual control over the speed...”
Well, it all worked the only thing that TRACKS DON’T PLAY!:) no sound of music at all:) Tracks are moving and I can control them by records but the only thing that is making sound are Traktor’s timecode records with timecode sound?…It’s just constant high pitch sound going from that record and if I play it through mixer it is freaking loud. Actually even if I simply put it on turntable and play without mixer there will be the same sound. The Input selectors were on Phono1 and Phono2 respectively - (actually it’s the only positions when I can control records and see that pix of moving decks on Traktor)
Of course if I switch to Audio/ Audio-Midi/Midi then I’ll hear tracks playing but then I can’t control them by records, they are not even displayed in Traktor…Traktor doesn’t see them…I’ve never deal with timecode records and such programs so may be it’s suppose to be like that? But how to play a track then??? Sorry for dumb questions and long post.
Thank you!
