M-Audio/Fast Track Ultra

Linux

Image 2: QasMixer set up to send system stereo to outputs 7 and 8, in stereo

The FTU has an internal routing system which can be accessed via ALSA: a matrix of every possible connection between input and output is presented to ALSA as a volume adjustment. In order to route system output to, say, outputs 7 and 8, you would set all outputs to zero except Din1-Out7 and Din2-Out8 (see image 2), routing each of those two inputs to their respective outputs.
