On another matter, I am looking for a different solution, but not able to find a video that explains how to go by to do so. I am trying to get my computer sound to go to the Google Translate App (to get simultaneous translation) and simultaneously allow me to connect a set of headphones while allowing me to speak back to the person on the other side. I am not, by a long shot, a technical person, so I hope I was clear enough for you to understand what my needs are. I hope you can respond and my apologies for taking the liberty to ask..Either way, Great job..

    Maybe I could sound stupid but instead of using headphones on Headphone Amplifier, can we also use that to record the sound to the Laptop or mobile, or also use it as the microphone for some live streaming applications like youtube or Facebook?
    I have the audio mixer that has the Control Room output and I also wanted to use Stereo Out for the external speaker. But somehow the USB recording is not working because of a device malfunction.
    If you can also make the video out of this it will be a huge help.

    Has anyone been able to find the specs for the Mackie HM-4? Noise Floor, impedance, mw per channel? It's a great price and if it is transparent and drives the headphones better than the cheap audio interface amps (they always underpower) then this is a great improvement without buying audiophile amp snake oil.
