I can hear sound via the docking station’s analogue audio out if I tick the “recording” checkbox for “Import0 Mux”.
Recording just for listening? I don’t understand the names here!
Furthermore, how do I switch off the Laptop’s internal speakers while still hearing something via the docking station’s audio out?
So what exactly do all those mixer’s sliders do?

- What is the difference between the two “Front” sliders?
Its not the balance, since I do not hear anything if either slider is down or muted, also the first affects all devices (laptop’s built-in speaker, headphones and the docking stations line out, while the second does not affect the headphones. However, there is a separate, functioning, Headphone slider anyway.

What is “Analog Loopback” and “Analog Loopback2” doing?
I need both ticked to hear anything anywhere. - What is DAC#?
- What is Digital?
- What is ImportMux#?
