To make it more useful, there is a trick to split the audio into two stereo outputs, instead of using it as a bare 4 channel audio output. I use a Mackie ProFX mixer as the audio interface on my desktop. It is not a complicated studio setup. I want normal desktop audio, reliable headphones, and speakers that can be controlled separately without having to remember which physical USB channel pair does what.
