It make a big difference whether you route Digital Mixer or PCM to
HWout. If you route the digital mixer to the outputs, you need to
unmute and raise the levels of the sources you want to hear (PCM 1, 2,
...). If you route PCMs to HWout, this step is not necessary. Either
way, you need to raise the DAC levels of the the two hardware outs to
an appropriate value...

I think 4 is correct; you only have 4 analog IOs on the breakout box.
The "A" is ADC/DAC is for "Analog."

Which input signals? HW ins or PCMs?

I've owned one for years, and it has always worked (since Red Hat 7.2,
IIRC). Maybe, as another poster suggested, there is some difference
in newer cards (mine is quite old).
