Is a four channel sound card within the controller necessary for pre-cueing?

I have a old Behringer CMD Studio 2A-controler, which a bought because it had a four channel soundcard built in - which I thought was needed for pre-cuing in Windows 10.

Now when I want to upgrade my controler I get unsecure, since few small controlers have a four channel soundcard built in.
Is this still needed?
