The headphone output is incredibly loud. Turning down the volume with the ALSA mixer lowers the volume but not the noise floor, so you get a very noisy signal not really suited for use with headphones. Would work well for 6 hot signals going into an external mixer or such.

USB, 0 inputs, 4 outputs.
