Google says that this device has several possible input routings.

This is normal for many of these kind of devices; mixer controls often are implemented in hardware only. However, if these settings must be done from the computer, they are implemented with unknown vendor-specific commands. In that case, you would have to try to run the Windows control panel from within a virtual machine (while unloading the USB audio driver).
