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.
Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ
- ✓ Working on Ubuntu 16.04

Set inputs to Phono: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 0
Set inputs to Line: $ amixer -c [cardnumber] cset numid=1 1
Native Instruments Audio 6
- ✓ Working on Ubuntu 11.10
USB, 6 inputs, 6 outputs. Toggleable phono preamps on 4 inputs. Togglable pass-thru on 4 inputs.
PASSTHRU on channel A: $ amixer -c T6 cset numid=1 on/(off)
